I see my old home
In a photograph
Of a Time and place
Where I thought I was happy

In hindsight
I was tenuous
Even then
Teetering on yes or no

Its true
I know
By the newer
Photograph
Of skin and bone
Crossed with a smile
And my life
Cowering behind it

I meant something back then
In the older photograph
There was a place
Of strength
Inside
Where I could fly
And mask my weakness

It wasn’t much
People would say
With the newer photograph
Replacing the old

But it was something
For me
Who couldn’t see
The photograph
Developing
Into someone else

PP. an interesting look how we change as we grow up, or grow more mature. Looking back, reminecessing about the people we were. But it gives you up for you only control the person you are going to become. Enjoyed this

May the world hug you today,
With it's warmth and love.
I pray it whispers a joyful tune in your heart,
That tell you there is a friend sitting in another corner of the world,
Wishing you well and
wishing you love......
