Hold Onto Memories

Pink and orange colored streaks are in the sky
Black silhouettes of mountains surround me
As the night says hello and sun says goodbye
Another day passed, quality time with a friend
Time goes so fast, swallowed quickly by the air
It can never be treasured more, before the end
What we have is all there is, for now this day
Sometimes it is easy to forget what can happen
So say what you can, don’t cast kindness away
   -  Let memories rest where they lay  -

Everyday produces memories good and bad we try and forget the bad. But we have to make the most of every minute. Tom
