Memories That Remain

Memories, oh memories,

So precious and so dear,

They fill my heart with joy and pain,

And bring both laughter and tears.

They take me back to cherished times,

When life was full of light,

To sunny days and starry nights,

When everything felt right.

I see the faces of my loved ones,

Whose time with me has passed,

Their smiles, their hugs, their gentle touch,

A love that forever lasts.

But memories can also hurt,

And fill me with regret,

For times I failed, for words unsaid,

Things I can't forget.

The memories of my childhood,

So innocent and pure,

Of carefree days and simple joys,

That I will always adore.

And memories of a love once shared,

Now distant and remote,

A bittersweet reminder of,

A love that's lost and broke.

Memories, oh memories,

So powerful and true,

They shape the person that I am,

And help me to get through.

So I will cherish every moment,

Of every single day,

For memories are the treasures,

That never fade away.
