Memories
Memories held deep in our hearts.
Memories of our lives.
Memories of our joys.
Memories of our heartbreaks.
Memories are our thoughts.
that we cherish forever.
Memories are our past
Memories forever last.
Memories of our childhood
and our own children’s lives.
Memories of loves held close
and loves let go.
The memories of today
will be memories of tomorrow.
Memories are continuous
they go on in our hearts.
Memories are shared
and memories are given.
Memories are made every day
that we’re given.
Never let your memories go.
Always keep them and hold them dear.
They reflect the lives we’ve lived.
They reflect the people we are.
Memories remain forever
in hearts of us all.
A memory is one of the, greatest gifts of all.
