Looking Back In Time Poem by Timothy David

Looking back in time
Ain’t it funny how we find
The things that make us happy
And the things that make us sad

Of all the years gone by
The little that has made me cry
That good was always able
To out weigh the bad

To the music that has come and gone
The rain that fell, the sun that shone
The people that I’ve gazed upon
The mountains and the highways to the sky

To the people that I’ve lost and found
And the places that I hang around
To every little country town
That I have past on by

Memories of a sunny day
Can never bring the thought of rain
Memories are the one thing in life
That You can never change

To the roads I’ve walked the Bike I ride
The old days on the slip and slide
To my brothers and my sister, My best friends

To the nights spend out till the break of day
To walking home the longest way
To waiting for the latest fashion trend

Pearl beach days and heavy waves
All the gang sitting in the cave
Hiding from the scorching summer day

Hot chip lunches and poker nights
Loving times and car park fights
Road trips when we had to get away

Memories of a sunny day
Can never bring the thought of rain
Memories are the one thing in life
That You can never change

To my mum and dad and our rock hops
And lolly bags from the corner shop
To the days when we could all fit in one bed

I remember when our family
Had another branch sprout from our tree
The sight of such a tiny little head

Along he came one sunny day
My first nephew was on his way
I remember being oh so very proud

Waiting around to hear the call
To come visit him at the hospital
His little cry it wasn’t very loud

Memories of a sunny day
Can never bring the thought of rain
Memories are the one thing in life
That You can never change

I don’t know what tomorrow holds
But all I know is I’ve been told
The streets of heaven are lined with gold! ! !
And the things you keep that day you die
Are not the tears of those who cried
It is the memories that you choose to hold.

Memories of a sunny day
Can never bring the thought of rain
Memories are the one thing in life
That You can never change
