"Memories"

Memories given to another.

Memories surrounding our clutter.

Memories shared by all.

Memories forgotten till recalled.

Memories of sadness, sorrow and resentment.

Memories of life, love and laughter.

Memories of joy, happiness and peace.

Memories of sunshine, rain and snow.

Memories the constant companion to our emotions.

Memories is that which has gone, yet lingers on in your mind.

Prompts emotions on the recall of just one memory.

Will keep lost ones alive.

May make you cry and does.

Can put a smile on your face and will.

Surely makes your eyes sparkle with mischief.

Sometimes darkening your mood at the memory of pain.

Give you comfort in times of despair.

Wrapping your inner space with warmth.

Keeps you living on the edge.

Re-unites old friends with laughter.

Spreads longing and joy for things no more.

Keeps you on the phone long after it was time to say goodbye.

The minds own movies, sometimes played at will, sometimes not.

Always allowed to use pause or slow motion to bring the exact moment in focus.

The senses helping with sharpening the imagery.

Thank you mind for keeping all mine.

Thank you for the reminders of the good, the old, the bad.

Thank you memories for keeping me.

I wish your memories keep you.
