This is a very touching poem. It is good that you want to keep the memories, because some people wouldn't know how to deal with them. I know how you feel because right now my mother is fighting breast cancer. It's hard, but I deal with it. This poem of yours has actually made me think. At first I was focusing on the worst, but now I can just enjoy the time that we have now. You are magnificent as usual John, it's nice to see a new poem from you. 5/5
