Ain’t it strange looking back on life,
How things go, how things change,
The old and the new,
Time mixed up like stew,
And by your side remain your faithful crew.

How things work, and how they end,
How everything old is new again.

A fresh perspective,
A new beginning,
The breath of life,
The old fades away,
The new temporarily stays.

The pain from last year,
The doctors bad words,
The horrible shit,
Is fading away.

I thought I’d miss it,
I thought I’d forget,
But those memories become faded in my head.

My photos lost forever,
Hidden away in a book,
No longer in my phone,
It amputated it’s storage memory.

Memories, pain, discomfort, muck,
No longer bright or bold,
Or at the touch of a button on my phone.

The pain dispersed,
Memories not lost,
But no longer in my face,
Physically they are easily replaced.

Almost right on a year on now,
I have a new phone,
The old memories have gone,


Today we get home from our last minute get away,
Where new memories where made,
Moments captured,
Bright and bold memories are now front of face.
I can move on from that horrible space.
