Memories

Yesterday is where a memory waits
That we can only make today
Time becomes the enemy
That wipes them all away

A memory is a piece of time
Sometimes good or bad
A little piece of history
A moment that we had

Sometimes we're reminded
Of things we can't recall
It doesn't matter how hard we try
We just can't remember it all

Sometimes we choose to forget
A memory that brings us pain
But tiny pieces of heartache
Somehow still remain

Memories never last forever
Always hold them dear
So smile today and reminisce
For tomorrow they disappear

Very descriptive. Pretty well covers a memory. Nice job.
