I like the use of consonance and personification to show how memories are kept alive and so the person they are about.
Congrats on winning the contest.
Keep writing and stay healthy

    How awesome, Nevia. I truly appreciate your kindness and the stars.
    Forgive my tardiness in answering your review...I'm getting slower every day I think... Writing, reviewing, and thanking plus living is a giant undertaking anymore. I appreciate your time and thoughtful words and I am happy you enjoyed the poem.

This is a very beautifully written poem. I'm impressed how it speaks in a soft voice and in a way everyone could feel and understand. Well, I guess we all know who the winner of this contest is. Why wait a week.

"Your memories sing," is a beautiful line to express the joy felt when you recall a loved one who will live forever, as long as you can hear the melody. The photos, roses, and poetry pair perfectly to provide an emotional and heartwarming experience. Beautiful.

Though they have left us from this earth, a part of them remains in our hearts. We still have our memories and we can take a memory and recall a special time with them. They are only a memory away.
I truly enjoyed your poem.
Patty

    Thank you, Patty.

    I think of him every day, but as his anniversary approaches, I tend to get more sentimental and weepy as his anniversary approaches. I miss his laughter so much.

    Smiles, Carol

    thank you sherry... I am approaching my husband's anniversary and times are difficult. I am trying to focus on the good but it's not always as simple as that. I am so happy that you found this poem to be just as special as I did.

Clever work in four lines--you nailed it--those lost to us live on in our memories--that's my ideal conception of life after death to be remembered--well said.
