Retention Lost

How can I rethink

What I have forgotten?

The past has left much

That I wish were not so.

 

Yet if my thought process

Ceases and recollection

Is hard to retain in a cluttered mind,

I have lived much in vain.

No one lives in vain George
we all learn through our experiences
in life and knowledge is always good
in any form :)

as long as you continue to live in faith, the perception of a hollow life is a misconstruction ...

I doubt that any of your life was lived in vain. You are the sum total of your experiences. You are the clay and life is the hands that have formed you into the fine person you are!

Love ya!

Nope. You haven't, George. You have just lived long enough that your memory has been impaired. Happens to everyone when they get on in age. But you knew that.
