Safely Stored Poem by ivor or ivor.e hogg

Inside of me I have a tree.
Where every leaf’s a memory
and every memory can connect with
something else I recollect
Although some leaves do fade and fall
I do not need to keep them all.
The sad, bad ones I can let go.
Ones I no longer need to know.
The happy ones I safely store
within my trunk for evermore.
Of course this system has its quirks
but I am glad to say it works.
At least it usually works for me
I can access it readily
