We never know

We never know

All the memories we seem to keep
Come out at night as we sleep
Everyone seems so very near
Pictures that are crystal clear 
Many we had hoped to forget
Yet in the file cabinet they still sit
Then the characters we've left behind
Sometimes there seemed to be 8 or 9 
Now some seem to feel neglected 
They come out when least expected
We try to keep this all under control
Doesn't always work we all know
We may seem weird or just way out there
Let's not judge but try to be fair
No idea what's on anyone's mind
Or what they have left behind 
Instead of being the judge
Let's be the giver of the HUGs!!!
