I Gaze Inside

I gaze inside myself and see One who once was twenty-three, With all of life stretched out ahead And no idea where she’d be led. That person still exists inside. Her presence cannot be denied; But much of life is now behind And strange to say, I do not mind.

Very well said, Ilene. For most of us - no way to predict the course of our lives, but when looking back, it all makes sense.

No regrets for me either. I would never want to return to being that naïve young woman again. I am quite happy with the knowledge I have gained over the years. I enjoyed this Ilene.

We can reminisce about the past but also look and see how our lives have changed so dramatically over that time - happy and sad memories but I personally wouldn't change a thing :-) Hugs Jan xx
