• Memories seem to freeze
    Locked away forever
    We tend to forget to think
    Back on dates and lives that lived
    We do not forget,
    but also not actively remember.
    We do not repay what is owed
    because we do not recall the gift.
    And then, it is too late.
    The life leaves, flees
    to the land we may not enter now.
    A look upon a face again,
    I remember.
    You deserved my memory.
    You deserved my thanks.
    Wait for me there,
    in the Land of the Dead.
    I will repay you someday.
    Please forgive my ignorance.
    The child has grown,
    and will honor his debts.
    He will not forget again.
