Our Past Follows Us

Though eventually time becomes everyone's foe
Our past follows us to wherever we go
For as long as the gift of memory we retain
Of the what used to be in us will remain
From where you were born and raised you may live far away
But your friends of the past you remember today
You have forged new friendships and in life have moved on
But you always remember the good days long gone
Though sometimes with it sad thoughts to us it does bring
The great gift of memory is such a wonderful thing
The past in your memory today does survive
Of the what used to be for you in remains alive
Your links to the past in your memory remains strong
Wherever you go to with you it goes along.
