Memories 
 
Looking back as time goes by 
From one day to the next 
I write in lines of special words
Even if they're only words of text 
I think about the way things were
When some memories were made 
From when I was a baby  
Until I was in the seventh grade
Times were tough and so was I 
It's what helps me to get through
I make new memories every day
That will be lasting I am sure
Knowing the love that I feel now 
Will always be lasting and pure 
These memories do hold for me
Some pure and happy thoughts
I bring them to the surface
When I feel distraught
