What are memories for?
To haunt, to taunt, and still harass?
To calm, to heal, forgive at last?
What are memories for?
Connecting us to times long past,
Is memory true, or false, we ask?
To weave a story, to give God glory,
To dream a dream, or nightmare gory?
What are memories for?
To be a human, safe from danger,
Or so afraid — beware that stranger!
What are memories for?
Without memory, we cannot learn —
Life’s long lessons grow strong and stern,
And yet, through hardship, we are stronger,
In trials and tempests, fear we conquer.
