At first it seems oh so far away We stood on one and looked out there Mostly we looked behind to see What was interesting from back then We remembered and laughed and cried We saw what had been not always knowing why But ahead was even more difficult Ahead was unclear and unknown and scary So now we stand again with days gone by Looking back and wondering what and why But ahead there is another time to live A time we don’t know just what will be So each time we look back and see what has been Here we are with some much ahead so much to begin To love to laugh to hold to cry We always seem to look back We always seem to ponder what is ahead But mostly love to look back I wonder why |

Paul, yes, memories. Looking back is not as fearful as trying to imagine what the future holds can be. Well done, enjoyed. Chris "At the touch of love everyone becomes a poet." |

Hi GoodKnight...must be in the air, because looking back was what I was doing today and I wrote "Why Did It All Begin?" If you get a minute give it a look, because it's like this looking back, and wondering you are talking about. Happy New Year to you, and all you love!  Terri~  |

Paul, that is a good question...I guess we look back more because that is the known and where the good memories are. I think the bad memories are what make us fearful or apprehensive of the future and the unknown. Hugs,  "Love isn't blind, it just only sees what matters." William Curry |

hmmm...good food for thought so to speak! I enjoyed this piece. The thought of looking back on the memories while anticipating tomorrow...sigh...very well done. Happy new year! ~Live and Laugh~ Because of you I laugh a little harder, smile a little more, and cry a little less |

Paul...It seems like this time of year, many people are reflecting on the past and also wondering what the future holds. You have expressed it well!  |

Well said, my friend. You speak thoughts I've had, and no doubt will have again, but may never express as well as you just did. ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |
