Being There

Lost
within
foolish ways,
of yesteryear
days-
those
fleeting
moments die,
in memory's
haze-
this
passage
in the sun-
'til our day is
done

We learn through the years.....we have all been foolish at some time in our yesterdays....but such foolishness helps us grow. An insightful poem! ~ Carrie

Good topic to bring to our attention. Wouldn't it be nice to be able to say no to having foolish ways. Thanks for your comments on my work. Keep writing. Sara
