SELECTIVE MEMORIES

by David Knape
Time distorts a memory
not quite as it may seem,
memories become fantasies
entwined in all our dreams

There is some truth in what's recalled
yet the underlying theme,
we remember only what is good
forget the bad in dreams

Memories are our reward
our personal playthings,
what only stays is what we want
to make a perfect dream.
