Past To Present

If you have ever felt so down Do you stop to think and stare The roads of life that have taken you To your point in life that your there Have you ever felt to look back On life's journey from when you were young Knowing now your crossroads has been reached Through the door your new life can begin To arise and take that first step Look back to your past and ponder From where you stand look ahead Your past steps will lead you to yonder http://www.thehighlanderspoems.com/life-4.php

Hi James, a well written and thought provoking poem. More often than not our past shapes our future and it can take real courage to leave the past behind a walk a completely new road. This reminds me of a sonnet I wrote at new year, I'll dig it out & post it. Oh and I listened to the Bryan Ferry track - awesome!! and Lewis sends his regards ~ Sharon :)

I really enjoyed this one, James...Sometimes we need to sit down and review our past to know how to approach the future...Sometimes we need to do a complete about face and change then sometimes we just need a tune-up...Sara
