Happy memories can change a mood
It can make dark times seem so crude
It can give a smile to the saddest face
Sometimes with the help of a tight embrace
Happy memories can take you back
Help you remember what you lack
Allow you to return to who you were
It makes clear a life of blur
Happy memories can help you move on
Help you accept that it's a new dawn
Give you closure and then release
Though it doesn't always come with ease
Happpy memories can keep you alive
It helps to keep going to try and strive
It helps to keep you from giving up hope
Sometimes it's a way to cope
