Fragments of Memories

Like the sand on the shore

Memories come and go

Some fade away with time

While others refuse to let go

Each fragment holds a piece

Of the story that we've lived

Some memories we choose to keep

While others we'd rather forget

The sweet taste of candy

On a warm summer day

A bicycle ride through the park

With the wind in our face

The first time we fell in love

The first heartbreak we faced

The joy of our first child's birth

The pain of a loved one's fate

Some memories come uninvited

Like a storm on a clear day

They shake us to the core

And leave us feeling afraid

The smell of a campfire

The sound of the ocean waves

The laughter of our childhood friends

The warmth of a lover's embrace

Each fragment holds a story

Of the moments we've shared

Some memories bring us comfort

While others leave us scared

The sound of a lullaby

That once put us to sleep

The feeling of a parent's touch

That always made us feel complete

The fragrance of a rose

That we once held so dear

The image of a sunset

That we watched with a tear

Some memories we treasure

While others we'd rather forget

But each fragment holds a story

That we'll never truly forget

The memories we've created

Are like pieces of a puzzle

Each fragment is important

In making the picture whole

So let us cherish each fragment

Of the memories we've made

For they make us who we are

And shape the path we take
