Memories

Wonderful memories

bringing forth tears

the times of my youth

those long lost years

Often forgotten

hidden by years

of life's many trials

and day to day fears

Seldom they come

yet once they do start

they race though my mind

and again touch my heart

Bringing back feelings

I thought were long dead

taking me back

to my youthful homestead

We'd gather with friends

I can picture their faces

they're right here in my heart

though we're in far away places

These tears, they're the good kind

they take me back home

to spend time with my good friends

reliving days long outgrown
