The last day I saw her is a memory so sweet that will never retreat,
a memory I never want to forget. With years passing by
since she died, the memory was tossed and lost many times.
Whenever it is found it gives me great joy. When hidden and
lost I feel destroyed.
Beware of the memory snatcher-
He is the memory stealer, mindless and harsh. He comes
and travels through the valleys and alleys in
search of memory to satisfy his greed.
But there is also the catcher fulfilling his need to compete with
the greed of snatcher.
When he wins his fight he turns out the light to all the memories
out there.
As we grow older day by day, it is getting harder to let memories not slip away.
Treasure them as long as you can, do not let them slip away as per
the snatcher’s plan.
