MEMORIES

Long ago and far away, those were the days,
days I remember and days I don't,
the less you know sometimes is what you need.

Reminders occur at the oddest times,
sometimes they are rather sublime,
a picture, a song, a phrase from the past,
bring me there and it is a blast.

The feelings fill me with the sweetest desire,
no drug I have ever tried has gotten me higher
than a great memory with the people I love
some of them here, some up above.

How long it has taken to reach this place,
to have this experience,
to feel such grace.

Happiness fills my heart,
I feel so carefree
I have always known it was inside of me

Hidden away as it often has been,
It makes me feel wonderful to feel it again!
