How Precious Memories Are

Carefree memories come back to me

on a gentle breeze put my mind at ease

like waves upon the shore keep coming back for more

back and forth near and far how precious memories are

sunrise sunset time's not up yet

don't leave room for doubts and regret

cherish each moment while you're still here

keep making more memories that you hold dear

do what you need to do say what you need to say

for this all will come to an end someday

the older we get the closer that time comes

don't feel bad it happens to everyone

Author's Notes/Comments: 

The longer you last here, the older you get inevitably people start dying...the more people die that you know or that were part of your world ever since you can remember and are now no longer here the more you contemplate your own life and death...how precious memories are...they help us carry on til our time is done..and hopefully we can leave some precious memories behind for those we leave behind when our time comes to leave this world...
