Fragments of Design

Fragments and crumbs of life, all the little pieces, Makes each one of us who we are, and do become, Each passing moment joins us and then releases. Each passing human secures a piece and then some. We are and will be the essence of everyone we meet. I remember the smell, his words, my grandfather left for me. I recall the wisdom my grandmother shared non-discreet. Scents of her baking and cooking Sunday dinner for three, These and so many more are embedded for natural recall. Never searched for in your mind, etchings of time gone by, Fragments of normal design, remembered forever after all. They may deliver happiness, or create mourning or a sigh. For every person you meet you take a part of their spirit. Fragments of their emotions stick with you for at least a while. Along with they acquire fragments from your little tidbit. These fragments that we apportion make life so versatile. written by Cecil Hickman Date written: 06-22-2011 written for Sponsor Constance La France ~ A Rambling Poet ~ Contest Name All The Little Pieces
