"Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is-His good pleasing perfect will."- Romans 12:2

I tell you all this,
Because I want you to remember.
My favorite food, my birthday,
What I did last December.

I tell you all this,
Because one day I'll forget.
What did I eat for breakfast?
Have I done this yet?

I tell you all this,
Because in memories, I'll always be with you.
It'll be like I never left.
And by remembering, I know you'll make it through.

We all forget things, some of us more than others. Some of us will even get Alzheimer's when we get older. This poem was written with that in mind, as if I can somehow preserve my memories.
