Memories Under The Stars

As I lay there
I thought about things that were important
And things that weren’t
Things that made me smile
The memory surrounded in a yellow glow
Things that made my heart ache
Blue and pain tinged
But they mattered
All of them
They made me who I am
They were all a part of me
They whispered answers to every question
And persuaded each decision
I was grateful for every memory, every experience
Because I am them
I am my past, my present and I am my future
