Memory is a cheating thing- <br />It only strives to please, <br />And over bitter clouds creates <br />A shimmer to deceive. <br /> <br />Memory is a kindly thing- <br />It drops curtains on the past; <br />And through the layers of gauze is seen <br />Brave figurines of glass.<br /><br />Adeline Foster<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/memory-is-a-cheating-thing/
