Memories Of You

I had a drifting mood today
It stirred a thought or two
My mind went back to happy days
To memories of you

Our lives are like a tapestry
With two distinctive sides
The front a perfect picture
The back our secret hides

Our memories are built like this
Some are clear and real
Others travel in and out
With no specific feel

Life's phases too are tapestries
With textures of their own
Some we love and some we hate
From all of them we've grown

We gather wisdom from our pains
From torment we grow strong
Our spirit nurtured by mistakes
Still fated travels on

Perhaps one thing which stays the same
And will forever more
Is the love we hold for another soul
The people we adore

So I had a drifting mood today
It stirred a thought or two
My mind went back to happy days
To memories of you
