I live for looking back It’s all I can remember Ask me what I did yesterday and I cannot oblige Ask me what I did 20 years ago and I could write a book This recall deficit wasn’t planned It was hitting the ground in 2001 that decided it

Long term memory
A child can grow your smile you never thought you had A child can make that smile have a regular place Yet that child has the power to remove that smile Without ever meaning to And yet that child has that same power to return that smile Being completely oblivious to this control Yet without these unknowing powers that alter you They wouldn't be the child you love

A childs gift
The mirror is a wonderful thing The mirror is a frightful thing It can positively highlight those points that aren't that bad Yet, as time goes on It can negatively highlight those points we knew were there but never wanted to admit

Unacceptable change
Look at that person you’re with, That person chose you. Try not to do anything to make that person think they made the wrong choice Smile at that person you’re with And make them remember why they chose you. Then smile again, and mean it.

You were chosen for a reason
Never be the one that is constantly seeking forgiveness, be the stronger one, and do things that never need forgiving. Be the one that forgives Life is long, but very short

Think before
Don’t go through your life looking back thinking, why didn’t I, I could have, if only I’d, what if? ...make those right choices now.

No need to look back
Use, make the most of, appreciate, and love everything you’ve got, because when it’s gone It may never come back.

Appreciate your life
Our lives roll on relentlessly Seemingly as if nothing of any significance or important is being recorded Yet look back on today’s soon to be past and the present will soon be your future nostalgia ...make it memorable
