Memories

Memories…….like uninvited guests

Suddenly crashing through

The routine of daily life

Memories……like long lost friends

Dropping in unexpectedly

Reviving forgotten feelings

Memories…….like spoilt children

Jostling each other

And demanding attention

Memories…….like stray dogs

Wandering here and there

Without any destination

Memories…….like sneaking thieves

Stealing peace of mind

Unmindful of causing distress

Memories…….like a sticky morass

Clinging to every thought

Simply refusing to let go

Memories……..like the falling rain

Gently soothing and drenching

Washing away all guilt and regret

Memories…….like a package

Wrapped around life

And tied up with special moments

Memories…..like an irritating family

Hard to live with

Harder to live without ……
