Memories are made
Thru happy times and sad times
Memories that last a lifetime

There are memories that are made
That, at the time, are ones you remember with a smile
Over time, that may change
The memories may be of times that were special,
But have become painful
Always hold those memories
For they have helped make you the person that you are

One day the memories that are painful right now
Will be things you can think about and smile again
You will have the context in your life
To savor the memory without reliving
The pain that may have followed

Memories are our way of grounding us
Our way of showing where we were
Our way of proving that we have lived
Cherish all of those memories
For they are all special

Memories have the ability to remind us
Of times that we were extremely happy
And times we were extremely sad
But, they also need to remind us
That the best of times and the worst of times will change
The memories of those times
Keep us grounded and moving forward

The special times with someone that may not be with you anymore
May be painful to relive,
But never lose those memories
One day you will be able to look back on them,
Forget the pain and remember why the moment was so special

Keep the memories of your life
Close to your heart
The good and the bad
The happy and the sad
And cherish them all
For they are really the moments that define your life
