Memories are a precious gift 

Lots of them have the power to uplift 

The power of reminiscing can brighten someone’s day 

Or help them acknowledge the err in their ways 

Some may bring heartbreak and sadness

But looking at it from a different perspective can bring you happiness 

Memories fuel the joyful experiences that are yet to be had 

And allow you to feel content and glad 

The amount of memories you have matters not, 

But only that you flourish, like a plant growing in a pot 

What’s important is that you don’t let negative memories hold you back 

But they inspire you to try harder, and not focus on the skills you lack
