Your Only Link To The Past

 As long as your gift of memory you retain

Your past in your mind it will remain

Of the long gone years and the what used to be

The past does live on in your memory

Of your younger years and your loves of the past

Only the memories in you does last

Memories of what was for you of laughter and tears

Your only link now to the long gone years

The years on you are beginning to tell

Of late you have not been feeling that well

Not as healthy as you were years ago

It seems that time it has become your foe

In you only the memories are living on

Of the years ago in the long gone

And for as long as the gift of memory in you last

This will be your only link to the past.
