The Past Remains In Us

Wherever we go to our past goes along
It lives in our minds like the words of a favorite song
For as long as the gift of memory we retain
Good and bad memories of the what was in us will remain
The happy memories of the good years
And the sad memories of past sadness that still moves us to tears
The past in your memory is bound to stay
Until you breathe your last on your life's final day
From memories of what was life's experience we gain
Though you cannot physically live in the past again
Our thoughts often dwell on the what used to be
Thanks to our marvellous gift known as memory
Eventually time becomes everyone's foe
But that the past remains in us happens to be so
