Something Else

Some things are haunting and dismal, they just won’t leave me be.

Some days are dreary and dark,

No sunshine do I see.

Though these things would plague me, if they had their way.

I overcome their effect by recalling a happier, brighter day.

I have reminders of goodness to drive away whatever brings me down.

As I reminisce of these things a smile grows where once there was a frown.

These memories that I treasure once created have no end.

They were given in your simple words as you said, “You are my friend.”
