Clio, Muse of History

Oh Clio, muse of history…
As I look back, please help me, please
Sometimes it’s seen not so clearly 
At seventy-two, a lot one sees.

Classic history’s read from a book
But your very own is far too close
And no matter how hard you will look
Some events should not be disclosed.

What history do you remember,
Whenever you look at your own past?
Will it be of bad things that were,
Or the happy times that will last?

We all have a personal history
Some will be clear, some mystery.
