    A Date with a Memory

    A Date with a Memory
    A Marked Calendar!
    How does one prepare
    To face impending despair
    What do you do
    When you know the blues are going to hit you
    You see the pages of calendar turn
    A date with a memory awaits
    Passing time hasn't yet healed the burns
    Of a day when you were hit by a cruel twist of fate
    You try to move on
    Carefully treading down memory lane
    Past flashing images of a loved one gone
    The heart laments, aches and pains
    The day passes punctuated with awkward silences
    With the mind and heart attempting conversation
    What one says the other refuses
    Each year its the same situation
    Someday the mind hopes the heart shall learn
    To look back and remember
    The years of pure joy 
    And not just one bad day in September
