What you remember,

big or small,

can never be,

what I remember:

no, not at all.

 

What we remember

from those days,

it always seems

that we remember,

in diff’rent ways.

 

What they remember

of you or me,

will always make

what they remember,

a ‘them’ from ‘we’.

 

 

What is remembered

- not written out -

can always change

and be remembered

by the loudest shout.

I think most people remember situations differently. Our minds and memories are programmed that way.

Interesting poem that conjures thoughts.

Yes isn't it so we remember things differently, even facts. I remember everything as quite different to you, even facts and both of us convinced of their own version and as time changes our stories differ more and more, almost like that children's game "telephones". That is one reason written records are to be held. The bluntest pencil remembers better than the sharpest mind.
