Life is the Things You Remember

By Anjali Chiulli

Life is the Things you Remember–

The Heat on that Special summer day–

The Cold on that Magical winter evening–

Without Memories–life is a Distant night.

Life is the Things you Remember–

Whether you want those Memories or not–

They are Who you are–

Without them you are nothing but a Body and a Heart.

Life is the Things you Remember–

The Giggles of your Childhood–

The Screaming of your Parents–

Your Brain is made–quietly.

Life is the Things you Remember–

Seeing your dad Cry for the first time–

The Funeral of a close one–

Life is your Experience.
