Memories can never fade.

A creak on the floorboards,
As dust flies,
Soon to settle,
Treading this untrodden path,
Left isolated, for so many years,
Archaic, a time gone by,
A place from long ago.
Creeping,
Trying not to disturb,
What has lain forgotten,
So long.
The creek portraying age,
A long time has past,
A time close to forgotten.
But I remember.
The laughs,
The tears,
The easy, the hard,
The good, the bad,
The memories that are contained,
Within these old boards,
Memories that will never leave me,
Not even in a forgotten eternity.
Memories are all I hold,
And all I have to hold to,
To remember,
To love.
A treasure cavern of memories to keep.

Hi!

If only we had a time machine with which we could go back and relive those precious moments and avoid those painful ones! But memory serves us well. When we least expect it, an aroma, a sound, a scene, or any other sense impression unexpectedly and hurriedly forces us to relive both the pleasant and the unpleasant--the cherished and hated. We are both blessed and cursed by this faculty of remembrance. But we would never relinquish it--not for all the money in the world!
