Memories…

Alone I stand amidst the busy streets of life,

Unsure of the dark paths and the bright lights alike.

Suddenly there is someone knocking on my mind,
"Memories, I am", says the sweet voice from behind!

I am your childhood games that you won;
Your boyhood puzzles left undone.
I am the Yellow tree that offered the shade.
I am your memories and I never fade.

I am those pictures that you smiled in,
And those mischiefs you were involved in.
I am your sweet times, bitter ones as well.
Instantly I come to ring that bell.

I am that dear friend you always looked for.
I am the cost you lost her dearly for!
The silly strife you had with them all.
I am your soul mate, I am your pal.

I am those mistakes ignorantly you made,
And your good thoughts, which have YOU, made.
I am all you lost; I am all you gained.
I am the boats that you sailed when it rained.

I am your Present that runs into Past.
I present you with the Past; I present them to you fast!
Deep inside, you laugh and you cry.
Beside you I sit; making it happen every time I try.

Embrace me whenever I visit you,
With arms wide open and the heart too.
I rush inside you like a gushing stream of flowers,
Leaving you with the fragrance that will last forever.

I am your companion when in silence.
I am your Memories, I am those Memories.
I keep on coming, knocking and knocking!!
