Valuable Records

I tried to record
Every important event
I tried to hold on to all my thoughts
As each one came and went

My values were so established
And held firmly in my brain
But there was so many new things to see....
Must change require pain?

Somewhere along my path
I began to try fewer things
I lost sight of the moments that couldnt be recorded
And the joy that each one brings

WAKE UP! I yelled to myself
As I noticed it was getting late
There is so much new for me to see
and I 've got better things to do with my time than sit here and come up with a word that rhymes with late.... fate, rate, create, wait....
