Memories
Memories are a funny thing
They can make you laugh but also cry
They are the basis of reliving the past
And for some, staying there
They hold secrets encapsulated in time
They hold feelings hidden from the world
A special place that one can visit as they wish
To hear voices and see smiles
To feel joy and love of those past
Memories, they hold the power to propel you or detain you
They can uplift you, or drag you down
Memories, the power they hold, is the power you give them
So I say, embrace them, learn from them,
But ultimately keep only those that will ENRICH YOUR LIFE.

Words with sense and a moral lesson. Memories can enrich but also
enslave. They can bring happiness but they can also bring shame
and guilt. To be able to keep the balance is the secret to living this
life - in the knowledge that no one and nothing is ever perfect and
that we should learn and benefit from the lessons we are taught along the way.
