Memories

A remembrance of the past
Something that is cast
In stone
That will always last

Sometimes they keep you going
Always knowing
It was there
Is what keeps you rowing

But other times they slow you
Stop you from getting through
From wanting to go on
Wishing it wasn’t true

Sometimes you wish
You could remember more
Sometimes you wish
You could delete them all

But never will they disappear
They will live in a tear
Or a smile so near
Never to be erased- your memories
