What is it about memories

Good ones, make us laugh

Bad ones, make us reflect

Special ones, make us cry

 

What is it about recollection

Brings long lost friends together

Brings distant relatives closer

It’s the opposite of a disputant

 

There are those memories which hurt

The memory of a bad fight

The memory of close one’s death

The memory of your pet in pain

 

But any memory helps us grow

And in the future helps us soar

They’re just tiny little stories,

What is it about memories?
