REFLECTIONS © 2011

I see in others what I once was,

I recognize in their eyes and steps,

The stages I once walked through,

The mistakes and victories, the fears and embraces.

It’s like seeing a reflection of the past,

In the lives of those who now cross my path,

A bridge between what I was and what I am,

Reminding me where I came from and where I head.

The experience gained becomes a mirror,

And observing what once was, I see the growth,

The same mistakes and dreams I once knew,

And the wisdom forged over time’s breadth.

Thus, identifying what I once was in others,

I find a deep and true connection,

A constant reminder that we are all

Fragments of a shared and sincere journey’s reflection.
