Nothing Lasts Forever by John Herlihy They say that nothing lasts forever But I can think of a few things Some things last forever and ever Nothing can bring them back – ever My childhood now long since gone My beloved parents now gone with it Can anyone say this is not forever When everyone knows this is forever My youth and adolescents now gone All those dreams now gone with it When some things are truly gone They are truly gone forever and ever The music stops at the end of the song That particular moment gone forever Can the post be brought back to life The simple answer must be: no, never Still, we are advised never to say never And similarly told never to say forever Ultimatums have a way of being wrong Never might turn forever, a fatal gong Some things seem to last forever War, hardship, doubt, despair Things that we wish happened never Yet happened they did, caught in a snare - - - - - Copyright © John Herlihy Wednesday 4 February 2026

From your poem, one can rest knowing that losing certain aspects of life is gone in actuality, but oh so precious is one's memory... even with effort as we age. I find that a lot of memories that are not on the tip of one's tongue can be found; the internet's ability to bring most anything front and center is a big help.
