Memories

Reflecting on life
can really change your view.
It makes memories last longer,
like adding a seal to a jar
instead of letting it sit open.
its like the lock on a safe
keeping whats inside protected,
from a wave of new memories to sweep it away.

With out memories,
life would be forgotten.
With memories,
life would be remembered.
It makes life seem bigger every time,
like how a balloon gets larger
every time you fill it with more air.
Or as a fire starts,
it grows bigger
with every piece of wood added
memories grow
as life lengthens
