MEMORIES HOLD THE MOMENTS,, WHILE LOVE FEEL THE DAYS

THE HOUR OF ITS BIRTH, WHEN YOU GAVE YOUR HEART A TEAR.

REMEMBER WHEN

We were young,
 
We were, 
just little ones
We used to play
How we were, 
when we were one . 
     
Way back then, 
the times were young.
 
Life was easy, for us then.
        
For we had, 
our innocence 
Play was the only thing, 
we knew.
 
Then we grew, 
into our lives.
 
Time seemed
to change, their ways
For our eyes were 
opened, to the view .
 
Not all
of what we've seen, we liked
For life 
only showed, the truth.
 
It was up to us 
to face it all
Even though, 
it made us cry
Laugh 
at the way, it went .
 
For times were good, 
times were bad.
 
Life had its ways, 
to cure our blues
It gave us, happiness 
and love.
 
With this love, 
it gave us pain
For now our eyes,
are opened wide.
 
Now we grown,
into our love
To feel the growing pain,
of impatient youth.
 
Did we try, 
to burn our life out
By trying 
to do, all we can  
For we thought, 
we only had today .
 
How wrong 
we were
When we found, 
how many mistakes, 
we made
By being foolish, 
with ourselves.
 
How many times, 
did it take to learn
We are 
only, what we make.
 
How many loves, 
did we lose
By not being, 
what we were 
Trying to impress, 
some little girl, or boy.
 
To show them 
you were grown up 
A man or woman, 
of the world.
 
By doing things 
only youth would do
Did you measure,
how big you were
By being the biggest fool,
of them all.
 
Taking chances, 
with your life
For it only took
common sense
To know
how wrong, you were.
 
Did we listen, 
to ourselves
Only when 
it brought us pain
Sometimes, 
even tragedy.
 
A painful sorrow
to experience
Cost us 
life and youth .

When we passed, 
the burning years
We saw 
how foolish, we had been .
 
Wondered 
how, we got this far
In the year we are in 
For now .
 
we are more aware, of life
For we see life 
has taught us, many things
Not all 
did we want to be, a lesson.
 
For our experiences,
were good  
Only if we learn, 
from the bad.
 
Even though 
we are older 
We still 
have allot, to learn
For life has many things, 
in store.
 
We can only know,
when it reaches, our door.
 
For how we 
receive it,
Will be our gift
or destruction.
 
When we look, 
behind
We'll have,
our blessing .
 
For we can look back,
to the good times
To Remember...
