I Treasure the Memories


Memories are the key to a portal

They transfer you back to a place ever so normal

They bring back scenes in your mind.

There are memories of every kind.

 

Memories that can cause tears.

Memories that can cause fears.

Memories that can cause happiness.

Memories that can cause a mental mess.

 

Mental pictures are developed inside your head.

Memories are best remembered when you lay in your bed.

When you lay staring at the blank wall.

Your mind projects a scene that you may recall.

 

The past is the past.

That was when there was no overcast.

That was when stress had no definition

and fear and evil was just fiction.
