I stumbled upon a photo...

I found a picture from 1989, I thought of who I was back then and who I am today.

 

I stumbled upon a photo,

from my innocent days.

The brilliant sparkle in my eyes,

The soul that bent both ways.

 

How much I’ve changed over the years,

Is not that much at all.

Soul still bending, eyes still sparkle,

Just scars from when I’d fall.

 

Innocence, has changed to wisdom,

Flightiness, into thought,

Obsession, into mere passion,

Learned love, cannot be bought.

 

Grown from a girl to a mother,

Been straight to hell and back.

Found myself in the depths of it,

And got myself on track.

 

We are; a soul in a body,

Bonded by our spirit.

My mind has truly developed,

my heart has grown with it.

 

All in all, I am quite the same,

Just found my destiny.

Older and wiser for what I’ve done

but, satisfied with me.

You look so pretty and fresh as a daisy, the eyes are still there and the beauty of heart too, as the poem flows with the transition of your person, we get a glimpse of ourselves too, imperfect, but happy for who we are. Delightful, honest, inspiring!

Beutiful poem!! alot of the times people wont add on pictures and I feel it really adds an extra oomph to the work!! plus the rhythm flows very well and makes it easy to read without giving it a dr.seus esc vibe. The idea and natolgia behind the pease is just wonderful and its all together a reall superb piece of writing the only thin id change personally is changingthe intos to just tos I think it would just flow even better that way

I am not sure about a Soul,I 'll agree we need to "Breath with our souls" And I will strive to breath,to live with a passion that puts more out then I knew was there.Some souls are new some old but they all seem to stretch the bodies they fall into.Hello, hello, hello ..over can be a new....Photo
