Heavy is my heart
My childhood memories
Flood into my nights
I’m worried I will forget
As my dreams, with passing time

    I always wondered if our gradually extended lifespan has the tradeoff of not being able to remember much of our childhood. I’m always having trouble recalling a lot of that.

      I know what you mean and in cases like these I worry that as time goes on I will forget her which I don’t want to do.

        That’s crossed my mind a few times. Then again, my other grandmother died a little over 15 years ago and I still remember her.

        I guess it is just the way that time and the mind work.
