Memories Are Worth Remembering
Memory serves a purpose only some truly know;
A reminder of what was, what is, and what can change.
Few understand that we would not be here, if not for memory.
And so it is memory that we have to thank.
Memories show us precious pictures and movies of the past
We learn from those and we move forward.
But as we move forward, we hardly forget the past.
Regular memories may fade as time passes us by,
But special memories will never leave us.
These special memories are what help us when times are tough.
They lend a hand when we don’t even realise we need one.
Special memories are of the people closest to us.
Our loved ones.
The ones who, even if they pass before us, live on forever in us.
They live on forever in our hearts
And in our memories.
Our memories keep us strong and connected.
Connected to who we are inside and to each other.
Each person's memory varies and each remembers things differently
But regardless of how someone remembers things,
The fact remains that they still remember
And people will keep remembering for as long as there are people to remember.
