Deep in our hearts there are memories
Of the days on the old front porch,
Sharing stories, sitting on the floor,
How I love to visit the porch once more.

What lovely memories we can share
On the front porch in the wicker chair
The lovely sound of water trickling down,
And feeling the presence of God so near.

God enjoys when we come to His porch
Looking heavenward into the bright sky,
Telling others how God died for them,
Sweet memories of Him will never die.

There is so much joy in remembering
All the happy, happy days of long ago,
Parents teaching us of God's love,
Reminiscing back sets our hearts aglow.

Oh the thoughts on a warm sunny day
Having fun and getting in mom's way,
Many of those memories will never part,
These are the memory stones of the heart.

Oh the fun of sharing summer flowers
As we play and run through April showers,
Birds would sing their sweet melody,
On the old front porch, What a Memory!!!
