Importance of Memories

The sting of death elicits tears
from those it leaves behind,
and creates an emptiness
that cannot be defined !

The memories, both good and bad,
forever will remain
in the corners of their mind,
relieving them from pain !

So don't wait until tomorrow 
to open up your heart
because you never know
how soon you'll be apart !

Wouldn't it be sad to have
no memories at all...
to go through life
with nothing to recall ?
