Poem : Power of Memory
Something we love
Lives after us:
A favorite song,
A cherished friend,
A sweet and cute baby,
Blessed with cherubic cheeks.
We pursue our passion
But only have one life to live.
Something we love
Lives after us:
A stolen kiss,
Bar-hopping and gate-crashing
Parties when we were young
And restless and carefree.
Memories we share will
Return to haunt us like
A phantom lurking
Silently in the shadows.
Memory is like an old
Shirt we wear, time and again,
Long after we pass on.
And this is our new dawn:
For this body is only
Our temporary abode.
But people who are
Close to us
Will remember us
Long after we are gone beyond
The setting of the sun.
