Memories -
Memories all come racing by in a blur,
We were younger, and naive , emotions in a stir,
We were told not to cry when we fall , but to rise , stand tall and give it our all,
We would run out when it's raining, dancing freely , no need for explaining,
We found solace in family time and game nights,
Creating memories that still warm our hearts today,
Laughs echoing , memories to retain,
We believed in wishing upon the stars,
To guide us through life , no matter how far,
When we were younger we wanted to grow up so fast,
Now that we're older, we miss the simplicity of our past,
Growing up is nothing but a scam,
A disillusioned reality , trading dreams for responsibility,
We wished we had more time being the younger us ,
chasing dreams , no need to fuss,
Memories come racing by in a blur, laughter and tears, like a vivid waterfall,
Childhood memories create nostalgic emotions,
In the album of time ,a treasury of devotions,
Take me back to the place where i call my home , and everybody knows my name,
In the neighborhood's embrace , where old stories frame,
Take me back to the people that i call my people,
where shared stories weave an unbroken steeple,
Memories are look backs on who we were,
At the very moment that we're looking forward to who we want to become.
