Memories of yesterday,
calling, seeking a truth,
recollecting what use to be
and wishing, wishing that I
could go back.

Looking over my shoulder,
wondering what might come to be,
thinking hard about what might be
and anxiously, anxiously trying to
move forward.

Reflecting an image from the mirror,
picture of me, glancin at what I see,
trying to figure out who I am,
what I have been and who I could be.

Thinking and reacting is all I have
ever known, but what I have learned, I
am never too grown. The past and the future
are the balances of me. Molding and
holding me together to
live life in the presence
of who I am.

Very lovely Candace. My favorite line is
'the past and the future are the balances of me' Very well put!
