Memories

Life is like a wave upon the sea,
Sometimes forgiving, and at others, ruthless as can be

Moments which interlude, however
Be they filled with tears or replete with laughter

Sometimes so profoundly effect a person,
His being may either change for the better or worsen


Though as all things that are, do,
All moments have to eventually end too

And life waltzes on like a wild breeze,
Nothing remains of that moment but sweet or bitter memories

Then, there may come a day,
When all your loved ones have gone away

Alone you lie, awaiting your death
Yet memories linger, until your last breath

As faithful a friend as this is hard to find
Memories, ever reminding you of what’s left behind
