Memories And Peace

Memories And Peace  - Gloria Matthew

Why smile in such sadness?
It's because of the memories
Of laughter shared in the past.
The humour of life, the fun and the joy,
The reminiscences certain to last.

Why relief in such sadness?
It's because there is peace
With no more chance of pain
No one can hurt, nor take away
There will never be fear again.

Gloria Matthew
