Memories Come in many forms
In pictures and in text
Some are bad, others good
Some rise above the rest
Memories are what make you rich
Despite what some believe
If I had a choice, I would choose
Memories of you and me
All the laughing
All the crying
Are what's always there
If you have no fond memories
You probably just dont care
If memories are important to you
Remember big and small
Without good happy memories
Life means nothing at all

All life is, is memories
All life is, is memories
All life is, is memories

I agree all we have are our memories as well as the moment. This, of course, does not give us licence to do anything that we please. Well told. Hmmm did I welcome you to Passions yet? If not Welcome!!

~Note- I am not attacking you, just disagreeing with a few things~

If you have no fond memories
You probably just dont care

Please explain how you made this assumption-I have so few fond memories....if a person has disliking or even hateful memories, it would show that person truly does care, they just care in a negative way.

Without good happy memories
Life means nothing at all

Picture a starving African child. His parents died when he was very young. For as long as he can remember, he has lived outside the village, rooting for magots to eat. Is this child's life worth nothing?

In addition, Let me explain that I am only disputing these things in good nature. I truly enjoy a piece with views that conflict my own.

Welcome to Passions

Memories are what I reflect on every day. Good memories can keep me going and so can bad, because memories are what my life has been so far.

I really liked this poem, very well written. Although, to an extent, I do agree with S.D.
If I didn't have the memories I have, I wouldn't be the person I am. The good memories put a smile on my face, and the bad ones make me grow stronger and to make better decisions because I can look back and remember the bad choices I may have made. Anyway, loved the poem.
