For Your Gift Of Memory

For as long as the gift of memory you retain Memories of your past with you will remain Memory the only link from the past that does remain strong It even can come to you in the words of a song Good and bad memories live on through the years Memories of happy times and of grief and tears Though time that rusts iron has become your foe Memories live in you of the long ago For those who lose their gift of memory how sad life must be Everyone to them strangers friends and family The loss of memory comes to one at a huge mental cost Without such a precious gift one is truly lost You may feel life is against you and feeling quite sad But for your gift of memory you ought to feel glad.
