Days That I Remember

There are days that I remember And many I do not Those happy days, those golden days When I thanked god for my lot When I thought things can’t get better And rejoiced in all I had Though in my heart I always knew That with good days come the bad There were days that brought the sunshine And days with chilling rain There were days of happy laughter And days of numbing pain Some days were filled with simple hope And some were filled with dread Sometimes I would regret the days When my heart controlled my head But through it all in retrospect When I think of days gone bye And remember all life’s ups and downs That have made me laugh or cry Or recall the days of youthful fun And those of quiet rest I thank the stars I lived them all And know that I’ve been blest.
