Within Our Hearts

Memories are made of things
that happen every day
Moments as we live them
things we've done
or things we say

Little bits and pieces
of laughter mixed with tears
Paragraphs and pages
written throughout our years



The carefree days of our childhood
the growing pains of our youth
A few of our illusions shattered
in our endless search for truth

The friendships we remember
Mistakes that we regret
The never ending love affair
is one you don't forget



Yes! Memories are happening
each one a different kind
Each and every one is beautiful
that stays printed in our minds

We can't erase the sadness
or edit out the tears
We can't undo the wrong we've done
We can't relive the years



But since memories keep building
each day can be the start
of making new and happy ones
To live within our hearts!
