As Memories We Will Always Stay Poem by The Original Tom Maxwell

It's been thirty years, since we saw each other every day,
We can't go back and relive those times, as memories they will stay.

Time has changed us, in many different ways,
From what's important in our lives, to our hair that's turning gray.

We all chased dreams, as we journey our separate ways,
Many have come true, others we watch, as they fade.

Old friends, the memories will always stay,
A very special person who touched your life one day.

You meet so many people, as you travel through life this time,
Only a few will make you smile, when you think of them in your mind.

You not forgotten, others often think of you,
Memories come from old songs, or things we see, or do.

All of us will check out, this life is limited stay,
To the people whose world we touched, as a memory we will always stay.
