Funny how the moments go
With no way to rein them in
They ran as fast as they began
A fleeting race we could not win
They took with them a picture book
That may be partially recalled
A fuddled view of distant aftermaths
Which once delighted or appalled
So many instants visit in a life
If we’re smart we’ll make a note
Keeping details as reminders
A sea of moments kept afloat
Based on a tweet by Mad Hatter Tea: "I can't go back to yesterday I've lost the directions"
Lewis Carroll:
"I charm in vain: for never again"
“It's a poor sort of memory that only works backwards,” the Queen remarked.
“What sort of things do YOU remember best?” Alice ventured to ask.
“Oh, things that happened the week after next,” the Queen replied in a careless tone.
