Reflections Reflections from the icy cover Settling over the chilled ground Becoming the earth’s natural mirror Reflections of the season’s past Childhood playfulness long forgotten Red cheeks and laughter from so long ago Reflections from our present existence Sometimes so full of joy and hopefulness Sometimes sorrow and such sadness Reflections of what will come ahead Answers of the questions we all seek Things we are afraid to gain knowledge of Reflections that we sometimes choose To turn our heads and not discover Walking blindly without a care Reflections we accept into our soul Things we learn from and grow from As our souls gains wise with life’s journeys Reflections that are all surround us every day If we’d only stop and take time to look At the wisdom life has to offer so openly.

The carefree ways of life in the past will always lie in our memories, if i could, i'd be back in those days in an instant! Randy Meador a life lived unexplored is a life not worth living. |

Lovely! We have our memories, and hardships, and we must create more memories, counting every day's blessings. The past is how we've come so far. Be proud of this and who you are! Sincerely, Regina It's all in the mind |

*sigh* if only we could learn from reflections of others who have gone before us then our reflections would be happier ones. This poem is right on the mark. I love it. **hugs** Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams. |

Tara what can I say? I love it, the memories came rushing back to me from years of my childhood I have somewhat forgotten in my recent years. Made me stop and remember the good times, and the not so good times, keeping my soul humbled and appreciative of life. Love you with all of me! Cubby, XOXOX |
