Memories

Is it fatal?

This gaping hole

Where memories used to be

Of childhood recollections fading

Some memories so clear

Others have gone

To that black hole

Where recollections fade

Some to be resurrected

Only when someone

Close to you

Brings up that

Embarrassing moment you forgot

Yet life goes on so harmonious

Making new memories

But what of the old?

I’ll write down what I remember

Talk to those who are still here

And resurrect the past

With words I’ll paint

My memories engraining them

In my mind

Sharing them with my family

And other folk

They shall live on.
