memories

The moments spent introspecting
about life and the course taken
of friends and foes

Memories of joys and woes
of pain and fears
of laughs and tears
of resilience and courage

of breaking down and acknowledging
all those who made life
worth all that it is and more...
of lessons learned, forgotten and relearned
of patience and perseverance
and the will to go on...
of self-belief and elements of doubt
and all the people one sought out...
