The Looking Glass

reflections

Is it not the joys of childhood that cause us dream?

And is it not those golden days that lace our memory?

Days long lost somehow have paved our way  

I see a remnant of that girl on the far side of life’s shore.

With each passing day a new perspective I find

And with each passing day a new decade I climb.

This road I’ve paved leaves me with no fear of tomorrow.

And as I gaze into this reflection I spy a trace of the woman

I hope to find.

A delight to read & for what it is worth, I too spend an increasing amount of time trying to catch a glimpse of the man I once was and also hope to find...

All Good Things Cherrie,

sometimes I feel younger adults have a flat view of themselves and the older I get the more 3-d I become :) and I 'am glad to see others see that as well

Yes indeed, many a true word written in haste. I am certainly not thinking of slowing down, at least any more. Regards, N

Life is an endless journey of self discovery because we all always evolving, growing and changing. A wonderful little poem.
