The Memories We Need To Retain For Eternity Poem by David Boyce

The memories we need to retain for eternity

They say some things happen for a reason,
But I sometimes really wonder why,
Because they can be so upsetting,
And make you feel you want to just cry.

It may be the loss of something precious to you,
A ring, a bracelet or a necklace,
Given to you by a loved one,
Some things you just cannot replace.

It is really hard to try to explain,
The hurt and anger you feel to another,
Especially when things you lose,
Are from a long lost father or mother

We all have those sentimental items,
Which we want back when they are lost,
The memories we need to retain for eternity,
No matter at what cost.
