Memory

Some days, the memories flow
On other days, no thoughts will show

The mind is such an incredible thing, and yet it can be so fragile
The edges of clarity it can bring, then shadows invade for a while

The days and weeks fly hurriedly by
Happy days that turn into sighs

I will write while I remember
Things I’ll forget come November

dance while you can with friends you know
Before tomorrow’s forgotten and they go

A day will arrive when the mind will hold
Every memory made embedded in bold

One day soon, the mind will find relief
From Disease that caused you so much grief

Life’s dance races to its end
You had your losses and wins

Memories vivid as a flower held inside
so quickly made, but now a slower ride

I will not forget you, my dear friends
When my mind is clear, a new life begins
