Memento Vivere: a poetry collection about remembering to live

By Alec John Belle

Remember to live.

Those are words I've heard all my life, but never took seriously until a year ago. In this collection, you'll find reflections of what I feel it means to remember to live, what it means to live against adversity, and how I started living a better life than I ever have before. I hope these words means something to you, just as much as they mean something to me.

Remember, life is a journey, one that is a gift. We cannot take it for granted and we must cherish every day that we have. Even if you think you're not worth it yourself, you are worth it to someone. Find that worth. Read this book and join me on these reflections so that hopefully, one day, you can learn to remember to live, too.

Memento vivere,
remember to live,
because one day
you will die.

Memento vivere,
a blessing and a curse,
embracing life at its best
feeling through the worst.

Memento vivere,
the set up of our stage,
the traffic lights I once begged,
the stories I wrote in rage.

Memento vivere,
remember to live
because one day
you'll be unable to

forgive.
