SWEET, SWEET THE MEMORIES
Ever rummage around in some old boxes, books, or a closet and find an old picture?
Here is one I recently found. It makes me smile and also gives me a touch of sadness. The picture was taken probably late 1960s’ or very early 1970s’. In the picture are two of my cousins, Tom Montgomery and Mona Miller, and their spouses, Louise and Bruce, along with my wife, Barbara, and me. The picture was taken at the Palmer House Hotel in Chicago, as we were there for one of those rare get-away week-ends. It was taken in the main ballroom while we were having dinner and to see Tony Bennett.
For me, often pictures create songs and songs create memories.
Take one fresh and tender kiss
Add one stolen night of bliss
One girl, one boy
Memories are made of this
Don’t forget a small moon beam
Fold in lightly with a dream
Three little kids for flavor
Stir carefully through the days
See how the flavor stays
These are the dreams you will savor
With His blessings from above
Serve it generously with love
One man, one wife
One love through life
Memories are made of this
