The past if glad gives you encouragement; <br />The past if sad makes joy felt better now; <br />The past if bad is better buried best; <br />The past if unforgettable is good. <br /> <br />Memories of childhood years remain all life; <br />Memories are evergreen or transient; <br />Memories must goad us live a life better; <br />Memories should not raise guilt feelings today. <br /> <br />Memories are good to think about some day; <br />Memories are dreams that gladden hearts some way; <br />Memories shouldn’t make your present life worthless; <br />Memories are left to come and go at will.<br /><br />Dr John Celes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/memories-686/
