As I look through some pictures,
and search through my mind,
I remember all of the faces, places,
and times left behind.
All of the feelings,
both good and bad.
All of the pain, fear, and anger,
that I've ever had.
The relief, excitement,
and times of pleasure.
The experiences we have
are life's only real treasure.
Our memories determine who were are
in each and every way.
They give us the wisdom, courage,
and compassion that we have today.
