What We Remember

We all remember different things From childhood or the past For there’s no way to know which ones Will fade or which will last. How incidents affect us Is entirely unique. What one might fondly summon Someone else might greet with pique. Comparing notes may help but still, A recollection viewed Through backward-seeing glasses Might be reasonably skewed. One benefit to memory Is what our brains reveal, No matter if it’s accurate, Will be, for us, quite real.
