I Can’t Forget Memories

By Walt Perryman

Maybe I am older and just a little crazy,
And my memories are distorted and hazy.

I seem to remember my old memories longer,
And the older I get they seem to get stronger.

It’s amazing how old memories influence me.
Even if they are not the way it really used to be.

It seems the older the memory, the longer it lasts.
New memories are easier to forget than the past.

This silly rhyme won’t make sense to all of you,
But, I bet some of you remember this way too.
