As I look out into the night.
I find my mind and heart take flight.
I'm taken back to yesterday
when love and laughter was the way..
Innocence of youth..trusting in life.
Not knowing about, all the pain and strife.
A childs mind,full of paperdolls and roses.
Sparkling eyes, and runny noses.
Playmates I had beside me each day..
My brothers and sisters..oh how we'd play.
Making faces in hubcaps..laughing til we hurt.
Sneaking spoons from the kitchen to play in the dirt.
So much has happened, both good and bad.
So much made me happy...so much made me sad.
The innocence of childhood fast dwindles away.
Facing life daily, each in our own way.
I put off my childhood when I turned fourteen.
I married then the man of my dreams.
Four wonderful children and twenty three years,
ended in strife, and a lake full of tears.
The years together from youth til the part,
ended as we set out for a brand new start.
Sometimes in my life things have gone so wrong.
I hid deep in myself, for I couldn't be strong.
So many mistakes between then and now.
Love lost in our life from our broken vow.
I'm stronger today, because of the Lord
I depend on HIS strength, and on His Precious Word.
So as I look out into the night
I catch the memories from their flight.
I tuck them in their place once more.
then once again I close the door.
The memories lay in their darkness again.
To sleep and rest and come to an end.
The door is locked tight so they'll never awake.
They came out this time, for memories sake.
