Reach

Look past your shoulder,

there's a memory you forgot to keep.

As you grow older,

things you'll bury, a little too deep.

Sometimes you'll smile,

sometimes you'll weep.

Sometimes you'll wake,

sometimes you'll sleep.

Just remember,

don't ever forget.

It's the good things in life

that are hard to get.

Reach, just reach.

simple yet so profound...nicely done..

memories are precious..i think even the bad ones, since they help us learn..

there was a line in The Natural that made perfect sense..."we live two lives, the one we learn from and the one we live with after that"---so true.
