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.
