Fragments From My Life
"Fragments and crumbs of life, all the little pieces"
John Ruskin, 1853
I knew in the beginning
What I wanted in life
Where my writing might take me
Where I might end up
Only plans change direction
Paths change course, unwanted
When passion burns bright
It can set your heart free
Life's greatest triumphs and tragedies
Remain alive in our memories
Forever etched among my pages
Statements impacting others
To more than just survive
Wipe clean the subconscious slate
Prepare to be inspired by life's events
And the importance of all the little pieces
"I believed that life began when you believed in yourself"
Won 4th place
