The Choice Is Ours Poem by Audrey Heller

Sometimes, looking back, is a
joy to behold! There are so many
memories tucked away, you long
to enfold! These are the ones, that
stay, upper most in your mind. Just
thinking about them, you realize,
they're one, of a kind! You'll never
have them again, so you hold on to
them, for they're very precious and
dear. How can you help but wish,
thse wonderful times, were still here?
Of course, we have quite the opposite
too. These type of memories, we're
awfully glad, are through! It's a good
thing, we have the choice, to remember
them, or not. For if some of them were
brought up, I'd simply reply, I forgot!
Some things are best, if you leave them
be, for they only create, a bad memory!
So since the choice is ours, let's put
behind us, the ones we choose to forget.
For there's a lot of living ahead of us, it
isn't over, yet!
