Memories
Memories are made of things .. that happen every day.
Moments as we live them .. things we do and say.
Little bits and pieces .. of laughter mixed with tears.
Paragraphs and pages .. written
through the years.
The carefree days of childhood .. the growing pains of youth.
A few illusions shattered .. in the endless search for truth.
The friendships we remember .. mistakes that we regret.
The ending of a love affair .. we never could forget.
Yes, memories are happenings .. each one a different kind.
Each one a separate chapter .. that is printed on the mind.
We cant erase the sadness .. or edit out the tears.
We cant undo the wrongs weve done .. we cant relive the years.
But, since memories keep building ..
each one can be the start ..
of making new and happy ones ..
to store within the heart.
