Tidings Within a Soul

A mirror once said: " A scheme has been made Upon the world that needs aid Where a disease has been spread And cure is so easy to get Just by thinking deep into one's mind" Researches quickly began Since the letter was heard But, the cure was never found... Years passed and many forgot About everything that was done Oneday, a boy approached The mirror that once spoke Dust covered its face And, with the boy's hand Swept it away Once again the mirror began to talk " My boy," said the mirror " The disease had been spread Around the world as I've said None found out what it is But you, my boy, have the cure For you have come back to me Swept the dust away and made me free If you realized, you have not forgotten The letter I've said before You have come back and remembered About me, a mirror, where I'm nothing compared to the rest." Days passed and the boy discovered the disease The disease that spread around is... Forgetting About One... You see, many wanted to know the cure once they heard So,search had been made and giving up occurred Then, the tale was forgotten and carelessness spread As a result, the disease of forgetting reached upon And the cure, ready to fight, was within everyone Yet, it never took flight and soared into the air Never forget what passed in life For it is a disease resulting in losing someone By simply forgetting the moments spent together And the picture of you and them vanishes into eternity The mirror was a simple example About how many people turn their backs to others and... Walk away, never looking back...
