I close my eyes
and shut out the world
And walk into my quiet room
There is no one there but me and my silence
Then memories begin flooding my mind
Over and over
Time after time
But the facts are never far behind
And there is always something to remind me .
When I can't understand the words
or hear the singing of birds.
But then I go back to my memories
because memories don't leave me
like people do
They are always with me good or bad
Memories is something I will always have.
People come and go
in and out of my life
They take my time
Then leave me
But a memory is never that unkind
It does not claim to be my friend
and then desert me .
Memories don't leave like people do
They are always with me
Good or bad
My memories
I will always have.
