Memories

Alone I stand amidst the busy streets of life
Unsure of the dark paths and the bright lights alike
Suddenly there is someone knocking on my mind
“Memories, I am” says the sweet voice from behind!

I am your childhood games that you won;
Your boyhood puzzles left undone.
I am the Yellow tree that offered the shade
I am your memories and I never fade.

I am those pictures that you smiled in,
And those mischiefs you were involved in
I am your sweet times, bitter ones as well
Instantly I come to ring that bell

I am that dear friend you always looked for
I am the cost you lost her dearly for!
The silly strifes you had with them all
I am your soul mate, I am your pal

I am those mistakes ignorantly you made
And your good thoughts, which have YOU, made.
I am all you lost; I am all you gained
I am the boats that you sailed when it rained

I am your Present that runs into Past
I present you with the Past, I present them to you Fast!
Deep inside, you laugh and you cry
Beside you I sit; making it happen every time I try

Embrace me whenever I visit you
With arms wide open and the heart too
I rush inside you like a gushing stream of flowers
Leaving you with the Fragrance that will last forever.

I am your companion when in silence
I am your Memories, I am those Memories.
I keep on coming, knocking and knocking!!
