    Rach :) I really loved this piece hunn.
    You did such a great job, and your rhyme was really good.
    I especially loved the third stanza, and of course the closure..I'm addicted :)
    I would only suggest something here:
    "Times have changed, feelings not
    Some now gone, but not forgot"
    ^the words "But not forgot" went a little off the flow..I have been trying to replace that "not" with something.It's pretty hard though..

    Anyway I loved this :)
    Write on~

    I love this poem Rachel...lol...though I am somewhat biased...I remember all of these things too and you as a beautiful ,curious , precocious child!

    The rhyming flows nicely...though the line Nema highlighted may read better as

    "Times have changed, feelings not
    Some now gone, but none forgot"

    Nicely done...very nostalgic...

    Rachel I love this piece !

    You brought back so many wonderful memories for me.
    As I sat here reading this beauty I strayed back to my younger days of swinging on a tree tire, jumping into a pile of fall leaves, climbing trees and playing dinky cars with the boy next door.
    Ahhhh such carefree days and beautiful memories !

    Thank you for this wonderful read and the journey back in time that you brought to me also.

    Times have changed, feelings not
    Some now gone, but none forgot

    This poem is absolutely amazing, I like how you reminisce the fond memories that you had of your past. You made the memories of yesterday feel fresh as if it just happen moments ago.I also like the idea of how you repeatedly used 'Memories of my yesterday'
    through out your stanza. It did work for me and the rhyming was fantastic.

    Excellent Job

    Rachel
    This is a beautiful poem.

    Times have changed, feelings not
    Some now gone, but none forgot
    Reflecting with a fondness today
    On memories of my yesterday

    So many of my yesterday memories include you.......I still see that beautiful curly haired little girl running around with that beautiful smile....saying "I Love you Aunt Ninny"

    Love you Rachel
    Aunt Cindy

    What can I say! This one touched me! Wonderful poem! Full of emotion and very nostalgic. Repetition of the last line made it more rhythmic.

    Some memories of our 'yesterday' never die.
    And once again I loved your poem!
