Reflections, Again Is that me is that me is that really me? Wondering, remembering. Looking at twenty, thirty year old photographs. Touching the images family portrait, now asunder. My boys building mud fortifications... come running to greet my arrival. The sister-in-law that fell from grace with the perfect stranger. Yet, I remain the black sheep? Odd how perceptions persist, eh? Members who are gone or just about heartache for home, family. Dear mother who rejected pushed away to this foreign land. Not bitter, just sad, maybe lonely. Trace the family tree fingerprints in ancient book whose covers creek when opened. A treasure trove with a few tainted jewels. Time machine sometimes not welcome. Seems all the disappointment, all the failures, the crashed dreams are hiding inside that book. Along the most highly cherished the moments immortal, preserved building blocks of me... Is that me is that really me? Tramp Poet: |

A treasure trove. This touch on memories, on pictures past, is wonderful. |

I know this feeling so well. Whenever I look at old family pictures it is so hard to reconcile what I see in the picture with who I am today. Was I ever that young? That thin? That carefree? The questions go on and on. Betty Lou Hebert |
