When I was young
   memory fades
   so long ago
   my escapades

   faces unknown
   a time forgot
   some remembered
   and some so not

When I was young
   I lived each day
   who would have thought
   just nights would stay

   falling like rain
   tomorrow's tears
   as I struggle
   with yester years

When I was young
   I held my own ...
   but all we must,
   when we're alone

I am in motion
I am blue
Love is an ocean
I'm anchored in you

Good poem...

After reading it, and thinking along the same lines, I have to ask myself, why is it that the bad memories are often the clearest in our minds? Maybe the answer is because we are usually the last ones to forgive ourselves. May God help us to forgive ourselves as we also learn to forgive others.

no matter who you are (and I know) your writing is always very meaningful...
