I treasure sweet old memories 
As time goes swiftly by. 
A few bring smiles of happiness 
And some tears to the eye.

They all are precious in their way, 
Reopening doors of old
That have been shut these many years 
What pictures they unfold!

These dear old, sweet old memories 
All play their special part 
In bringing joy and opening up 
The latch strings of the heart.
