My Abiding Memory

My granny said to me, "It's not good to talk about the past" You must always live in the present for only it will last" Apparently I was lost not knowing what she meant But as years passed her words seemed heaven sent I then began to wade deep into the middle of 2015 Daddy died, mom followed, my life a crying scene I'm uncertain about the months I really cannot recall Nothing seemed real nor made any sense at all! God knows I prayed to be relieved of earthly pain Momentarily I could smile until it all came back again Emotions were like bombs I never knew from day to day Memories of the past exploded until I heard granny say Omit all the past be happy for as long as you are here Remember life is short, cast aside your Yesteryear Youth seems to travel back whenever granny's near!
