" Memories "

The magnificence of your mind
It records each moment of your life
From both happiness and joy
To heartache and strife
-
Memories have the ability
To cross both time and space
They can take you back
To any time or place
-
Some get cloudy over time
They become hard to recall
But they are never really lost
Not any at all
-
Some will always remain
And be forever crystal clear
Some can make you laugh
And others shed a tear
-
Some memories aren't healthy
These we try not to recall
So often around them
We sometimes build a wall
-
But our memories that bring us peace
The ones that help us cope
We keep these up front
Right next to Love and Hope
-
So live life to its fullest
With all of its joys and sorrows
For what you experience today
Are your memories of tomorrow .
