Sitting in my secret place, reflecting back thru time
Replaying all the memories, that now run thru my mind
I see the many faces of people now a memory of my past
Their life is but a vapor, but their memory will always last
Some have made a good impression, some made none at all
Some helped me thru a tough time or helped me bridge a wall
Sometimes it only took a smile or just a helping hand
Or a shoulder for me to lean on or with a hug they understand
I want to make a memory, in some one else's mind
But that will never happen, unless I invest some time
So many things I need to do, and time is hard to find
But I'll never be that memory, if I don't take the time

Reason for writing:
So many people have helped me thru the years. Just hope I can return the favor to someone else.
Life is short, find the time to help someone along the way.
