My scrapbook fell and I watched it fall apart
as it tumbled to the floor
scattering yesterday's wishes
of emotional letters from lovers
and photographs taken
from another time, another place...long ago
My weathered wrinkled fingers picked them up
one piece at a time, so I could reflect
while I looked at each one intently
so I could remember
the times when I ran through life
like I was running with the bulls
on a cobbled stone street
filled with abundant energy and life
these memories of wishes
kept as silent precious reminders
of a life lived and wishes kept
I placed them all back in the book
then ran my hand across its cover with a smile
