Inspired by The Giver by Lois Lowry
Jonas, new Receiver of Memory
The burden falls to you now
To be the guardian of all the memories
Of how the world once was.
Jonas, new Receiver of Memory
Nothing you know can prepare you
For the experiences and feelings
The Giver will give you.
Jonas, new Receiver of Memory
You will feel pain and joy
And your world of Sameness
Won’t feel the same any longer.
