Taking This Emotional Roller Coaster Ride

Let’s take this emotional roller coaster ride,

remember the days that have been

and smile like yesterday

and dream your days away.

*

Let’s take our days one by one,

treasuring each moment

and storing away memories,

held dearly in the heart.

*

Let’s treasure our family and friends,

remember each precious time,

when together were we -

as though this was our last day.

*

Let’s take this emotional roller coaster ride,

retrace the steps where moments once began.

Remember the love we share

and dance by the light of the moon.

*

Never look back -

there’s a new tomorrow,

full of new promise,

let’s smile our days away.

*

Let’s hold on to sweet memories

and love like there is no tomorrow.

Just enough for today,

with plenty of songs along the way.

*

Let’s step back into the time of our youth,

play the songs that we once loved

and dance throughout the day –

for there is so much to say.

*

Was that step a misstep,

today it no longer matters,

swings can still take us to the stars –

whenever we want to make one ours.

*

The bridges we burned behind us once,

can still be retraced,

if we believe that we –

left the best part of us behind.

*

Someday the two of us,

might have to part,

life is just that way,

but to hide the heartaches –

the brightest of memories is a good place to start.

*

Let’s take this emotional roller coaster ride,

be wild and crazy -

because life is so short

and it offers so very much.
