What are the classics of your life
That warranted instilling--
Moments that were meaningful
Or laughable or thrilling?
What annals became family jokes
Or stories that bring tears?
What tales of grand achievements
Or overcoming fears?
What anecdotes, told through the years,
Seem just like yesterday?
What treasured shared experiences
Perpetually stay?
And through these recollections
Of memory-reconvening
Do we find greater closeness
With those who share their meaning?
