The Loveliest of Memories

The loveliest of memories
Will never fade away,
Though years may come and go
The joy they brought will stay.

Golden days of childhood;
Running free in fields of flowers,
So happy in our innocence
When all the world was ours.

Special times once shared
With loved ones long since gone.
We hold them in our hearts;
Their memories living on.

The loveliest of memories
Mean more than words can say,
For when we feel downcast
They will chase all cares away.

Memories

Precious, tender memories,
Can comfort us in sorrow
Giving us a reason,
To look towards tomorrow.

We can recall a word or deed
From an unexpected source,
That helped uplift our spirits
As we travelled on life's course.

So never dwell on troubles,
Of a cross you had to bear,
Search deep within your heart
And find sweet memories there.

Life is just a mixture
Of sunshine with some rain,
But memories of sunny days,
Are the ones that should remain.
