Question

Read the poem given below and answer the questions that follow:
Memories from childhood stay with us forever, Taking us where we have been and will go, Pieces of life that live on and will never
Let us forget we were young long ago.
Sometimes I wander back into those shadows, Quietly being who I used to be,
Bringing to life all the joys and the sorrows, Days that can’t die while they still live in me.
Holidays linger and happy times glisten;
I can see everyone active and well.
I can still hear them if only I listen,
Feeling each motion and breathing each smell.
Life has such treasures that time’s always stealing; Nothing can ever entirely stay.
While you are young, you can capture each feeling; Make all the memories you can every day.
