Memories of days gone by,
Fill me with warmth and a sigh.
A time when life was serene,
Before the world turned so mean.

Days we'd laugh and play and cry
Thoughts that never said goodbye
Our hearts were so young and free
Our friendships so filled with glee

We'd share stories of days past,
Creating thoughts that would last.
The joys of days were so pure,
The innocence to be sure.

Times have changed and we have grown,
The memories remain known
The past lingers in my heart,
That shows me how life can start.
