As the light from the morning sun shines in
And the birds start singing their tune
Thoughts of my past start rushing in
And I find myself smiling soon.
My heart begins to flutter
And my eyes start to shine
As I am filled with memories
That will only grow sweeter with time.
I begin to think of my childhood
How I would go outside to play
And how I learned to ride my bike
When dad let go that day.
I remember my mom hugging me close
As she would kiss away my pain
And I remember thinking that one sweet day
I would be doing the same.
Beautiful memories just flood my soul
And there they will remain
So that I can reach a greater happiness
As I travel down memory lane.
