"Grateful for the things that came, and grateful for all that went.
Smart enough to know that time that has passed, is time that has been spent.
Time that is gone. It has passed by, it has passed on.
Times that we will never forget.
And we learned to carry the lessons, not the regret.
Times that we fought.
All the darkness it brought.
Days that we wish passed by fast.
And days that are forever, we wish they would've last.
Times that are front row in our heads, they always come first.
Days when our hearts were broken, by hands we trust.
Moments with family we hold.
These are the ones that through life, they keep us bold.
And memories of people that are gold.
Memories of dreams, that we sold.
Poems that make you remember.
Poems written on a cold december.
But darling, this isn't a poem of longing.
This heart sometimes just feels like saying what its been holding.
Grateful for the things that came, and grateful for all that went.
Smart enough to know that time that has passed, is time that has been spent."
