Precious, tender memories,
Can comfort us in sorrow
Giving us a reason,
To look towards tomorrow.

We can recall a word or deed
From an unexpected source,
That helped uplift our spirits
As we traveled on life's course.

So never dwell on troubles,
Of a cross you had to bear,
Search deep within your heart
And find sweet memories there.

Life is just a mixture
Of sunshine with some rain,
But memories of sunny days,
Are the ones that should remain.
