Unforgettable

Seasons come and go, each one a fleeting breeze
Clouds gather, scatter, and form anew with ease
Yet nothing soothes the heart's deep joy and pain
Like memories that linger, forever to remain

Winds howl, storms rage, and nature's beauty fades
Trees bloom, wither, and renew their cycles, shades
But memories of the past, like maps, remain etched in time
Testimonies and footprints, forever intertwined

Thoughts, words, and records preserve the past
Forebears' voices echoing, forever to last
No amount of time can erase their indelible mark
Their presence and deeds, a lasting spark

Commemorations and celebrations keep their memory bright
A tribute to their legacy, a beacon in the night
Their impact on our lives, a testament to their might
Unforgettable, forever in our sight.
