If you could keep but one memory
Jut a single memory from your past
What would you hold close to you
From all your lifes repast
Could you distill all that was important
When life doesnt come by installment
Would you systematically discard all the dross
Memories unimportant, trival or gross
Left with the treasures, held to the light
How long to examine them, to get the choice right
Would it be that memory of happiness and fun
Something to make you smile when you are on the run
If you could keep but one memory, a thing to reconcile
Would it be one, that inspired you to walk the extra mile
Would it have to be of that one true love
Or would memory of family have to come above
Having crystallised the memories too precious to discard
I find to choose just one is really just too hard
I find myself with a treasure trove
All too precious to remove
With only one memory would I want to remember
The person who is me, because it would dismember
My whole ecology
My memories are the sum of me.
