reflections
of my life
bounce back
unexpectedly
in moments
of quiet
solitude
mirror
impressions
differ from
the view
in my
youthful
mind's eye
fleeting
glimpses
of that
innocent girl
are fondly
relished
and held
with joy
and longing
for what was
and what can
never be
i did my best
forget the rest
today
i see
an older me
a wiser version
of what
i used to be
growing
older in years
younger at heart
deeper in compassion
liberated to fly free
over still waters
and relish my
reflections
of my life
bounce back
unexpectedly
in moments
of quiet
solitude
mirror
impressions
differ from
the view
in my
youthful
mind's eye
fleeting
glimpses
of that
innocent girl
are fondly
relished
and held
with joy
and longing
for what was
and what can
never be
i did my best
forget the rest
today
i see
an older me
a wiser version
of what
i used to be
growing
older in years
younger at heart
deeper in compassion
liberated to fly free
over still waters
and relish my
reflections
