I wrote this poem during the summer , I normally keep my poems in a diary , a special place where all my thoughts and emotions, prayers and answered revelations are kept and stored.

I feel that there will be a time and place in my future where God will want me to look back over the past moments and memories and learn and grow and enrich my spiritual storage.

I often find, when glancing at past memoirs, I am really able to find in myself a source of gratitude , and having tangible and concrete proof of past experiences to the present-day helps in my expression of gratitude to God.

I never read my diary entries - 

That are close to the existing time.

It just feels wrong, For the phase incomplete

Must be read at my prime.

But there will be a time when I'll read and read;

When I'll relive the memories of the past.

And reminisce on the emotions of before,
The times that did not last.

That time is getting closer still, but today is not that day.

So I'll close the book, keep it safe and pack it far away.
