Memories

Memories you're so gentle and kind 

Falling gently on our mind

But then you are cold and cruel 

Often making us feel

Like a lovesick fool

You give us hope

And at the same time 

You fill us with an aching hope

You are the holder of 

Not only moments we cherish

But also moments 

We rather forget

You make us long for

 Bright and sunny days

When the world seemed so 

Happy and gay

But then you remind us of 

The dark days

That filled our lives with pain

Your walls are imprinted

By people that inspire

But then there are imprints

Of people we love and cherish

Who we Long to see again

How often you put a smile on our face

Remembering sweet moments of yore

Longing to go back in time

And relive them all again

You bring a tear to our eyes

Knowing we will never have them again

You capture a moment in time

Like a photograph hung on your walls

Giving us moments to hold on to

That are never easy to let go

Though we try

When people cease to exists

When they are no more

They continue to live on in you

Never ever to fade away

No matter what you bring to us

Whether a smile or tear

We will always love and cherish you

Because in you we will live

Forever more
