Memoir of a Loved One
March 27, 2013
I hold on to memories of you
like so many grains of sand.
I try to grasp them all
but they slip through my fingers
until I have only a few
trapped in my cupped hands
never to escape.
But if they were to ever
Fall through my fingers
and I have nothing left to cling to
my mind would be empty,
for remembering you
is all that I have
and all that I am.
