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.
