"LOST MEMORY"

IF I COULD
ONCE AGAIN
HAVE A MEMORY
THAT WAS INTACT
THERE WOULD BE
SO MANY THINGS
TO RECALL
THAT NOONE WOULD
NOR SHOULD
WIPE THE SMILE
FROM MY FACE

BUT,
BE IT WHAT IT MAY,
ALONG WITH LOST CELLS
WENT ALL TOO MANY
FOND RECALLS
OF TIMES THAT ARE
DESPERATELY NEEDED
TO RELIVE NOW......
CUSHIONING THE IMPACT
OF LIFE'S DOWNFALLS
