Total Recall

Total Recall
Total Recall
never quite
brings us to
the realm of
satisfaction
that we seek

Memories replayed
are fond and most
cherished, yet
we have a kind
of emptiness
where that
loved one
held a place
in our heart
of hearts

The secret to
that is in
being ever thankful
of what was
and recognizing how truly
lucky we are
to have had them
ib our lives
for a time
