moments
of a life
pasted together
photos
papers
thoughts and dreams
some reality
some a reach
some never attained

series of people
who came
went
a few stayed
loved them much the same
friendship may wane
but never die

asked the shrink
his response why
why does it matter
if the memories bring warmth
hold them dear
if they’re cold
let the wind blow
and disperse

for you alone
make your future

make your future
