Nostalgia is a word we use with thoughts about the past,
You know the one's that's in our head? Of memories that still last.
Perhaps it was a moment, just a day that touched our life,
Or maybe of a person, a husband or a wife.
Our children give us days to keep quite safe within our heart,
The magic days you spent with them giving them they're start.
It can be of a loved one, that day you said goodbye,
I hate the memories that you keep, the one that make you cry.
Happy days of holidays, with parents on the beach,
Being small and seeing things you thought was out of reach.
Do you remember any day you won a special prize?.
Thinking how you made it and how you felt so wise.
Alas there are some sad days, hoping we'd forget,
Whenever, we remember them, we only get upset.
Our memories are important that's if we get them right,
Friends and family that we knew, thinking of their plight.
We all have different memories, of times that's been and gone,
They're part of our tomorrows, how sad to not have none.
