Memories That Last

M-emories that truly last
A-re those that leave indelible mark; 
R-ecorded events are written
I-n the lightness or dark.
V-ery fine weather is one, 
I-nclement clime is another; 
L-onely time makes one cry, happy moment causes laughter.

E-very memory may return, 
D-epending upon the thinker's way; 
E-ven in dreams it reappears, 
J-uly fifteenth sunny day.
E-ndless memories of the past may teach a lesson or two; 
R-ight or wrong one may choose to decide about red or blue.

F-rom good to bad memories, 
A-ll these suddenly come back; 
R-ecalled in joy or sadness, 
R-eminiscing they really attract.
A-nyone in the whole world
L-ives with trace of the past; 
E-ither of the following, 
S-weet or sour are memories that last.
