Remembering 6/13/2023

Do you remember
Days of old
When times were filled
With joy and love?

Do you remember
Not so long ago
Your heart
Was broken to pieces
When your beloved
Left this realm?

So many memories
And moments in life
Make up who
We become
But not who
We need to be.

Our thoughts mold us
Into a person
That sometimes we
Don’t recognize
Cutting off chances
To change and grow.

Remember the past
With love
And forgiveness
As a way to incorporate
And improve oneself
Harmoniously.

Then one day
You will remember
Who you are
At the core of your being
And know deeply
Love is at the center
Of everything.
