Memories are heartbeats

Sounding through the years

Echoes never fading

Of our smiles and our tears.

Moments that are captured

Sometimes unawarePictured in an album

Or a lock of hair.
Images that lingerDeep within the mind

Bit of verse we cherished

Once upon a time.

Through the musty hallways

Of the days we knew

Ever comes the visionBeautiful and true.
Memories are roses

Blooming evermore

Full of fragrant sweetness

Never known before.

Life must have a meaning

Goals for which to strive

Memories are lights that burn

To keep the heart alive.
