In This Life

In this life
we tend to
hold onto
good memories
longer than bad,
tucking them away
into special places
inside our hearts.

we do indeed! (I like to think of 'the heart' as a very special
'library' of such grand-fine memories ... especially those of Love)

Well my heart doesn't have a place for bad memories...that's not to say I don't have any...I guess I keep them in the dark recesses of my mind...buried nice and deep. Loved your poem.
