Answer 1

A Memory to Treasure

One evening, as the sun was setting low,
I walked beside the river’s gentle flow.
The sky was painted orange, red and gold,
A beautiful sight I still behold.

The birds flew home, the cool breeze passed,
And peaceful moments seemed to last.
I felt so calm, my worries flew away,
And I still remember that peaceful day.

That evening taught me, simple and true,
To value little things in all that I do.
Though years may pass and memories fade,
Its quiet beauty will never evade.
