MEMORIES

-             Foez M Rahim

‘Bye-Bye’ is all that you can say to me

But I like to think about you all through the years

And I am going to keep your memories in the deep of my mind

Though I know that you are the cause of my tears.

Where are those days, which I always desire?

The days when you made me dream with open eyes

When you made me win and gave my life a meaning

And the days when you made me laugh

-         And helped me to forget my cries.

You can say that the time has changed

While I would say that the time may take you away

-         But your memories remain,

My faith gives me the birth of my hopes

And these are enough to bring you back to me again.
