Your Past Goes Along Poem by Francis Duggan

As long as your gift of memory remains healthy and strong
Wherever you go to your past goes along
And for as long as you live with you it will stay
It will be with you until your last night and day
The healthy mind never does seem to forget
The one who does wrong to others and them never live to regret
For his or her future bad Karma they have sown the seed
One might say quite a soulless person indeed
As long as your gift of memory you retain
The past and it's memories with you will remain
It is there to remind us of what used to be
Though we would rather forget every bad memory
You cannot hide from your past as the wise one does say
For as long as you live with you it will stay
We may live in the now and yesterday has gone
But the past in it's memories in us does live on.
