Some wish to never remember their haunting past how  selfish  does  this  seem to those who cannot remember anything? The past hurts, like  a  mother  losing  a  child.     Even  when  the  memory  fades the feeling of absence is  present. Learning from the past Is part of growing up, An  underlying  lesson To  be  learned   For those who care, But then we forget all together, Mixing  days  with  years, Months  with  minutes. Soon  we  forget  it  all. - Megan Neely Art By Caitlin Corbett
