This was a poem I wrote awhile back while attending my pre-grad college. I thought of this one at my beachfront condo one day while watching the sunrise on the beach.
Seeing that brought memories flooding back. Some painful. In an effort to get my frustrations out, I wrote this short poem. It is really short however, I feel the message is still powerful.
When my college professor found out I like to write poems, he encouraged me to get them published, which I did. This is one of those.

A Little Warning

A Little Warning to those who are young.
Memories are like writings on the beach:
Fail to protect them, and in the morn,
They’ll wash away,
For memories are the precious gems of the mind.
Those who protect and treasure them are truly rich
Indeed.
