Fading from a former self
I shelf my past to gather dust
And trust that it will always be
A building block that led to me

I may return to dusted shelves
And selves that I have left behind
My mind does tend so solemnly
To look back on the many me

But every time I visit who
I knew my very self to be
I see more things I’m doing wrong
And make my shelf one more book long

Everyone looks back and wishes they'd done things differently...I know I have....well done Kevin.

Profoundly said~
If each day we write a new chapter of wrong ...
it's time for a re-write~
Goodness knows I'm working on my second shelf~

Love you~

kev,

this is a wonderful thought provoking
piece...very profound...you show so much
wisdom at your age, and your words as
always are such a pleasure to read.

take care.
