Memories

Memories. 

Memories are thoughts stored from the past
Many are lost; others seem to last 
When you think of good times way back then 
Just being alone or time with a friend 
You think of your first love or your first kiss 
There are indeed good times you've grown to miss. 
The pounding heart or a childhood smile 
Feelings you haven't felt in a while 
Thinking of these times, you suddenly grin 
Thoughts you've kept of the way back then 
Your first bike or a brand new toy 
Barbie's for girls GI Joe's for boys 
Gathering of friends with no time to hurry 
No schedules to keep..no time to worry 
We've grown older, and friends have passed 
We're still here and dream of the past 
Daydreaming is fun when the thoughts make you smile 
So sit back and relax, think back for a while 
Thoughts from a long time ago and things from the past 
Dreams of youth are disappearing fast 
Enjoy your imagination and think so clear 
Of time from days of yesteryear.
