A picture
Painted clearly in your mind
Swirling, dancing in that treasure trove
For you to draw upon later
They can never be forgotten

Remind us
Of the hardships we’ve endured
The joys we have reveled in
Tell us our whole history, whole existence, in a few simple pictures
They can never be forgotten

Teach us
We learn from our mistakes
And understand our choices
We own them, cannot forsake them
They can never be forgotten

Make us
We are our decisions
Our actions
And they tell us, that is what we’ve done, who we are
They can never be forgotten

Maintain us
Joys keep us going
Regrets fuel our determination
To do better next time
They can never be forgotten

Memories
Can never be forgotten
