Your Gift Of Memory

The past in reality in the forever gone
But within the mind it is living on
And as long as the gift of memory you retain
Your memories of what was with you will remain
For as long as you live however long this will be
The past it does live on in your memory
As memory is a great gift of the human mind
To lose your gift of memory as bad if not worse than being visually blind
We can only live in the now since life is this way
But without your memory you cannot recognize night from day
And though some of your memories you wish you could forget
At least your mistakes you remember to regret
Hope your gift of memory with you does stay
For without it you would not have a yesterday.
