The days pass on fast
memories remain steadfast
to the empty times ahead
they stand as pillars hard

There are weakening moments
flashbacks drive out those moments
awareness eases the burden
memories become sweeter then…

The disheartened soul becomes sick
instances of past raises the memory’s wick
surroundings swiftly turn brighter
memories help  nurture character

Life becomes worthy to live on
Hope becomes ladder to climb on
Wishes become horses to ride on
Memories become anchor to hold on…
