Memories which sometimes come
Can lift us up or leave us numb.
Treasure those which have been good.
Discard the others as "deadwood".
Build a mental memory book
And let it be a special "nook"...
A prized oasis of retreat,
A place of recall which is sweet.
Gather only memories
Which build you up and bring you ease.
Place them in your memory "store".
Let them be as "joy's encore"
"Whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report: if there be any
virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things."
Philippians 4:8 KJV
