Within minutes, a memory can make you
Smile
Cry
Want to throw things
Want to break things
Laugh
Run away
Reach out
So many things
All it takes is allowing yourself to feel
Something
Anything
Pain
Joy
Confusion
Distress
Anxiety
Rejection
Acceptance
Happiness
Permanent
Temporary
The time we spend together
Yesterday,
Today,
And tomorrow
Making our lives worth living
For the ups and downs
And everything in between
Are what loving and learning is all about
And it's all about finding us

This poem reminded me of a phrase, "Memories are when are hearts take a picture." With many of the words you used, I recalled many of my heart pictures.

I like that idea of heart pictures. So perfect.
