Memories --6/9/06

Memories of faces we knew,
places we went, and things we no longer do

Come creeping through the backs of our minds;
some treat us gently, but some aren’t so kind.

We think of the good times and wish for their return.
When we think of those smiles, we can’t help but yearn.

The others we’re glad to leave behind
we hide them in places we hope not to find.

Time rapidly races onward
ignorant to philosophy, prayer and written word

Leaving only memories in its wake
to remind us of our life’s mistake.
