How can we re-write our history?

MEMORY 
 
I attended a memory service
last night in a church
beside the old family graveyard
I knew in my youth.
 
I thought I would be on my own,
in the busy congregation but
one by one, I saw all those I knew.
They were all there.
 
But they were different.
All previous angst, sorrow
and resentment had gone.
They were all transformed.
 
They reached out to me with
love, joy and laughter.
It should always have been like this,
but other things got in the way.
