What We Remember

We all remember different things
From childhood or the past
For there’s no way to know which ones
Will fade or which will last.

How incidents affect us
Is entirely unique.
What one might fondly summon
Someone else might greet with pique.

Comparing notes may help but still,
A recollection viewed
Through backward-seeing glasses
Might be reasonably skewed.

One benefit to memory
Is what our brains reveal,
No matter if it’s accurate,
Will be, for us, quite real.
