I Will Never Leave My Memories Forlorn

Times have passed,times have passed, far spent,far gone,
I sit on this step as I recollect all the times passed. 
Memories are vast. Happy times of past unfurl in my
mind,sad times of past unfurl while my head down,
angry times unfurl in red flames of aggressive words,
loving times of past unfurl in the freshest part of my
heart. Lessons of past illuminating the path to walk, 
shaping my words to talk.  Hidden knowledge covered 
by night shadows,now revealed by the sun of present day. 


I sway my way to the futures bay with knowledge 
revealed day by day. Times have past,times have past,
far spent,far gone, looking behind the road I walked
I see many steps, in many hues,many images in
many hues,all combined and fused, all albian, 
one, walking ahead to the peak of the sun with  
hues of my background kept alive, by rays of the present sun. 


Much I have lost ,much I have won but the journey continues
my time isn't done, walking ahead with times of fun, as I dance 
with the present rays of sun , towards futures rays I run. 
The mile ahead unknown,the mile behind, I've past. I've passed 
those times,but those times have never passed me,
walking life with a head full of memories. I walk past people
I know,they seem not to remember me,do people cherish
their memories. Cuddle with them for a while,rekindle the flames,
wrap them in a blanket of fluffy cotton,keeping them fresh and 
never to rotten. The lessons I've learned,never forgotten,
The emotions I felt, will never melt,for they played a key role
of who I became. 

Times have passed,times have passed, far spent,far gone,
I will never leave my memories forlorn
