Noah the memory capturer

Noah, the memory capturer.

He captures sounds, songs and words.

Words that we have heard before.

Who is that huffing and puffing?

Is that you, PaPa, Dad, dear, Uncle Jeff!?

Did I just hear NaNa, say 

“what”, “I love you” and “huff”?

Couldn’t be, for she has left.

I’m sure that if you listen enough,

You’ll hear a lot more stuff.

As we lose our loved ones,

One at a time, we realize

Their precious lives.

How much they mean

Should be seen, in

actions, words and other deeds.

If you need reminding

Of the preciousness of life.

Ask Noah, for he has captured,

All of the background chatter.
