Memories Make Me Smile

Make your memories while you’re young

In sweetness and in simple joy.

Learn to laugh and run and play

In every action you employ.

 

Moving at the speed of sound

Across a meadow’s open spaces,

No competing – win or lose -

No first or failure in your races.

Only freedom in the moment.

Happy, smiling, friendly faces

Greet you at the frantic finish with

Loving arms and warm embraces.

 

Deep within the far recesses

Lock these treasures in your heart

That you may find and fond recall

When trials beckon every mile.

 

For I am you and you are me

And time will never see us part

Or lose the precious bounty of

The memories that make us smile.
