Memories

Memories.

They bring us happiness,

sadness,

laughter,

tears,

anything.

They keep us close to people we may forget.

They are what make up our past.

Just like the saying,

"We learn from our mistakes".

Memories can be our mistakes,

we learn from them.

We share memories with others.

Memories are tings we cherish.

Others might not understand the meaning of our favorite memory,

but we do.

A memory could of been the reason we went mad.

How do memories stay with us forever?

We give it value,

we put it away for safekeeping,

in the deepest part of the chest,

underneath all our fears and worries. 

We will remember every memory,

even the ones we lost on the journey through life when we lay on our

deathbed.

We will smile and laugh at childhood.

We will scold ourselves for our teen years,

momma and daddy will not know about that one time.

We will smile and cry at our adult years, 

those are the times when it was rough but also happy.

That is what memories are.
