Do Souls Have Memories?

I don't know what you're currently thinking. I don't know where you are now.
Are you around and could really see us? Or are you with the angels up above watching over us?
Are you here roaming around, enjoying your liberty without any knowledge that you've been a great dad in your past life? 
If your body has died, I wonder, will your memories die too? If so, you probably forgot everything about me, about you- everything about us.
Are you just in your resting place waiting patiently and eagerly for our visits?
Are you there, lying at peace, waiting for that day for all of us to be reunited as promised in the Bible?
Or are you gone forever Pops? 

"I have faith in you Lord that you have something great ahead of each one of us. That you have prepared something to those who believe in You. And I look forward to that day that our families will all be reunited as one, in whatever way you have for us."

Realities set in...

I go on with my life, with you in my heart. But once in a while, I realize, you're indeed no longer here.
I look at your things, with the dust; your stuff were never moved since then and will never be used no more.
This pain just keeps on getting stronger, I thought it'll pass.
But no, it will never end, it's here.
Papa, your memories are here. Each day I always think of you.
The freshness of the hurt and pain when you left is still here.
They say it'll be over each day but I beg to differ- it's not.
It's still here Pops and I'm still hurting much.
