Memories Are Special
It's Who We Are
As the days pass and slowly turn into years
We can say we have lived
When we look back and reflect on our lives
Bringing back the magic moments that are imbedded in our heads
I like to think all our good times are like seeds planted
They grow and keep developing with proper care and love
The bad times are lessons to be learned
Teaching us
Preparing us for a better life
We may no understand them but they are necessary for growth
All the people we meet make our life interesting and filled with endless adventure
We must all seek our own journey
Even though we start out with the help of our family and friends
They are here to lead us in the right direction
There are many choices to make
Some good some very bad
If we make the wrong choices we have to suffer the consequences
Temptation can lead us to some of the worst things
This is where are influences can help or hurt us
One of the greatest gifts we have in our life is the ability of choice
Where we get to decide what to do or not to do
Be very careful here
Quick decisions we may regret
Think of all the possible outcomes of our actions
How it not only affects us but the people around us
We have the ability to dream and create in our mind
A vision
So special it can show us what might be
What could happen if
Then we can carefully decide what choice is best
As our life plays out like a movie on a screen
We are the lead actors larger than life
Taking chances and risks
Living and loving
Sharing and caring
Then there are some people that didn't make the right choices
They are stressed and unhappy
Some suffer in pain and struggle
Little do they know what they could of had
Some where in their life they made some serious mistakes
That can cost them years or even their whole life
Smart people can learn from their tragic stories
If we take notice and understand that could be us
We can have forgiveness and empathy
Every day we have a treasure chest to dive into
Richer than any precious metal known to man
It is here we can relive all our memories over and over again
Experiencing the feelings that separate us from the whole animal kingdom
So many people forget the power they have
They get so caught up in the unimportant things that take away from who we are
Who we are capable of being
Those people who understand how life works
Spend their time helping other people enjoy their life
Leaving behind the greatest achievements for all mankind
So as you enjoy your day
Think of the decisions you make
Reflect on your memories
Carefully select the choices that are best
Above all live your life
Sharing your most ultimate gift
