Memory

There are many things one would wish to remember
A smile, an accomplishment or even a lie we were once told,
One of the things i wish to remember the most....
Is how happy i was before,
My true inner voice,
The way i would grin and giggle,
Happy,
Smiling all the time,
Smiling till all i felt was happiness,
And a sense of peace in my heart...

Memory...is a beautiful thing,
Sometimes it may shatter us,
Sometimes it may bring joy to us....
But if there is one thing i know more than anything in this life,
Memory makes us.

And although,
Memory may not be kind,
And although,
Memory may be lost to time,
Memory is...beautiful....
