Inspired by Cecelia

A memory, so precious
A mind, so unpredictable
A memory, so honest
A mind, so powerful

No denying, it remains
Always there, engraved
No denying, it helps
Always there, cherished

Be it good, be it bad
A memory is your possession
Be it sharp, be it distant
A memory is your creation

Their reason, they are personal
Their effect, they can motivate
Their contribution, they can teach
Their lesson, they are our reflection

Depending on the situation
A memory can help us today
Depending on our destination
A memory can lead the way

Not dwelling, not regretting
But reminiscing and reflecting
Not shouting, not crying
But wisdom and happiness

Every memory is an unforgotten lesson
Every memory gives us something
Every memory is every moment
Every memory creates a life

An energy can be felt
An emotion will arise
Be it a butterfly that leaps
Be it a heart that is stabbed

Life is made up of them
Our heads are overloaded
Every single moment is stored
Every single moment is a ours

The importance of each moment differs
A mental note or a digital photo
Some are worthy of the mantelpiece
Some barely of the journal

Memories running through the soul
Memories never growing old
Memories consisting of feeling
Memories being used for todays healing.


P.S.
I always knew looking back, the tears would make me laugh
But I never knew looking back, the laughs would make me cry
