All you’ve really got

 I did the prompt on what you would take with you in case of an emergency.
Nial

after the flood
when the embers are cold
what have you got left
to be told
all you’ve really got are your memories

after your marriage
when your kids are all grown
and they’re out of the house
mainly on the phone
all you’ve really got are your memories

After your marriage
when the love is all lost
and you’re kind of wondering
if it was worth the cost
all you’ve got is your memories

after your childhood
with naivety gone
when the world has rushed in
like a discordant song
all you’ve got is your memories

after this life
as your body decays
your thoughts float in light
for the rest of your Ray’s
all you’ve got is your memories

after the flood
when the embers are cold
when your breath is at peace
and you’re done being old
all you’ve got is your memories
