They Left Me Memories

I sit here and remember

How many have touched me.

Although they are no longer here

They left me memories.

Each time I remember them,

Or  A story I recall,

It feels for that brief moment

That they never left at all.

 Behind they leave 

Those parts of themselves.

Those pieces  I treasure So.

Holding memories close  inside,

And those shall always grow.

They live on in old memories shared

Or photo's in "Our Memory Book".

A song we Hear, a fragrance sweet,

Or Just in that certain Look.

One this is for certain

And this I Truly Know.

As long as I have memories

Our loved ones Never go.

So as I sit here and remember

Of How many have touched me.

Although they are no longer here

They left me memories.
