Can You?

Can you hear the ring of wind chimes in the gently blowing wind?
Can you see Grandpa’s truck as it starts to round the bend?

Can you taste the sugar cookies that Grandma Great was making?
Can you smell the homemade bread that she’d just finished baking?

Can you sense the golden sunshine softly resting on your face?
Can you still feel the peace you felt as someone’s saying grace?

Can you still smell the roses as you walk past Grandma’s garden?
Can you still forgive or has your heart began to harden?

Can you still love someone immediately that you just met?
Can you be a friend though they haven’t proved themselves just yet?

Can you still find the joy and peace and love that you once knew?
Can inspiration hit you like a bolt out of the blue?

Can you still recall all the tender times that you once had?
Or is your memory blocked by all the times that turned out bad?

If you take a little road trip down memory lane you’ll find
Those precious Memories stored in the corners of your mind.

to those who easily forget,
– Caleb
