Memories on the wall

Memories on the wall,
Reminders of past events,
Pictures, letters, uniforms.
I was there, I was here,
I have existed, will exist.
Memories on the wall,
Lend their story,
If only we listen.

Memories on the wall,
Reminders of things gone by,
Diplomas, cards, medals.
The team lost, the team won.
They fought, will fight.
Memories on the wall,
See their effect, on all of us.
