Memories by Ameera Kamal

As I sit here, counting the days that remain, 

I feel a pang of pain— 

A wish to retain what is mine. 

A sudden urge to stop and scream, 

A voice inside reclaiming me, 

Urging me to listen to it, 

And take a journey into the past, 

To look back at the years of my life-

At what I've lived, 

And how I've lived. 

Never forgetting the voices in my head, 

Those words of wisdom, the care of loved ones, 

Loving eyes, coffee, and tea, 

Evening walks, starry sky-

Memories I cherish from days gone by. 

 

Years of my life flashing by, 

Days of my life flying by.

Cherished memories, loving smiles 

Will always remind me

That I've lived

A beautiful life. 

But in my heart and in my soul, 

I will always carry the people I've loved, 

I will always carry the life I've loved.
