Memories The memories we hold deep within our hearts, Can bring us joy,or tear us apart. They surface when we're lonely,they make us cry, As we sort through painful memories, of days gone by. They can cause such sadnes and heartache too, We even wonder at times if we'll make it through. The memories are our past,we never let them go, They are our future to help us grow. Memories within the heart,always stay, But given time, the pain, will go away. Give yourself,the time, for when heartache is real, You need to grieve before wounds can heal. Then you can look back, once in a while, And memories will be there to remember with a smile.
