REMEMBER IT ALL

REMEMBER IT ALL So many memories that leave few traces All the friends I knew and their faces And when the time is nigh, at least I’ll try To remember it all It’s been so long, a danger of forgetting As recollection fades it becomes upsetting And when it’s time to rest, I’ll do my best To remember it all The decades pass and we don’t meet that often Is it even true that feelings can soften And playing my last card, it won’t be hard To remember it all Events and times that happened in my youth Whether fact or fantasy, but I know the truth A photo album from which those faces are staring Blurred but smiling, I wonder how they’re faring Images that I still see, and it depends on me To remember it all
