A LIFE AHEAD

The eyes focused on reflection

As detection

Results in memory bank entry

A plenty

And when

It is needed again

You pull it out of the bank...

Thank

Its holder, your mind

In kind

By creating another memory to keep

So your mind can sleep

At night

Full of knowledge, wrapped up safe and tight

To reuse again when needed

Because any experience must headed

And then a life ahead

Will be one of great adventure...not dread
