Memories

You Can Choose The Memories You Make.

Memories


Today is the day that started many years ago.
Today is the day I must fill before on I go.

Tomorrow is the day that starts after today is over.
So today’s memories I have to fill before on I go.

I cannot live yesterday’s memories.
I cannot change them either.

What then is the purpose of a memory?
Yes, to guide my steps for a new memory to make.

What is the purpose of a memory?
Yes, to strengthen my steps in courage lost.

I can’t live yesterday’s memory but it lives on in me.
I can only live today and create memory by how I live.

The memories I want to live with tomorrow,
Is the life I must live today.

So my life today must be put on course.
The road to build is up to me. It’s my choice.

I can’t live yesterday over. That day is over forever.
Its memory may linger but to live it again, no never.

Today’s end is what I am thinking of
To kill its memory would never do.

So I choose carefully the path I walk.
Since I will never again this way walk.
