# Sweet Memories! Poem by Shamik Kumar Bose

Sweet memories! Do not die young
Yet time will not let us escape
Buzz in bee's hums, in flower's fragrance
So you may remain young, forever young!

Inside enliven, when two birds sing a song
The murmur of the river flows so sublime
Pines a wind from deep forest of Pine
So you may remain young, forever young!

Remain where a great grief frozen, yet unsung
In melody of song, inside poem sublime
Where a joy, like a sorrow may always chime
So you may remain young, forever young!

No bond is sweeter than love that dies young
No thought is purer like a lover's pine
Only those moments will escape the cruel hands of time
So you may remain young, forever young!
