Memories Statue

Be are all building monuments in our lives....

Laments statute erected, 

memorial to the past, 

regularly visited and maintained. 

This monument to failure, 

mistaken words written and spoken, 

are a chiseled epitaph, 

emblazoned at its base.  

How long of a shadow it casts, 

features worn by time and tears. 

 A cold look from dead eyes judges silently, 

it's existence says it all, 

I suppose I could tear it down, 

but then I would lose my past and forget, 

no I think I will tend to it just a bit longer...…

We don't have to live in the past but sometimes we like to...
