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 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 memories 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.Published again since my memory is short.
