On the shelves in my mind
Are snap shots of moments in time
Collections of past and present events
More valuable than any dollars or cents
A collage of joy
No one can destroy
A puzzle of lessons learned
When lovers and friends turned
A scrapbook of success
Declarative memory at its best
Cerebral cortex aids reflection
Emotions stuck like glue
Amygdala recalls aromas for you
Picture frames of faces
Temporal lobe also records places
Mental photos I can see
Memories just for me
