Feel the presence
feel the rays of sunshine
happiness and gratitude
infiltrate each waking moment
everyday.
Breathe it in
wash away
dirty anger not needed
not felt nor experienced
no, not in any way.

Memories, memories
Running thru my head
Memories that I wish would remain dead
Memories, memories come flooding in
Full of heartache and chagrin
Up they come from somewhere
Somewhere profane laughing
Chiding me of what has been
Memories, memories sometimes
Not the best of history that could
Or would have been
Memories, memories that should
Not have been.
Memories, memories wash them away
With happy thoughts of yesterday
Memories, memories.
