Memories

Memories,  such memories
They filter through my mind.
Each as clear as crystal,
Each one so sublime.
Days of Joy and laughter
Filled with such delight,
Memories of happy times
Before you left my life.

Now the pain they bring me
Causes tears to come.
I can not escape from them
There is no place to run.
This is all that's left to me,
As now I sit  alone,
Memories of Yesterday
When you and I were one.

You are gone my Sweetheart
Leaving me behind.
Why did I lose my daughter,
What sin did I commit?
These terrible questions come to me
While quietly  I sit.
I can not turn away from then,
I know inside  I must.

Yet  memories inside of me
Have somehow turned to dust.
I know somewhere your happy
Your life is now complete
I know that angels keep you
No pain for you to feel.
That is my only peace now
The knowledge deep inside.
You've found a place to go
Where you will always smile.
