Wilma Neels Poet Free verse

'ever-Changing'

"At times when you feel just like a distant memory... 
Embrace the unforgettable moments - just smile and move on" 
'you are still alive create new ones'

Life is ever-changing
People change
Your needs change
Sometimes the person you started
Your dream with,
Might end that journey abruptly

Then you feel lost
Alone
Like a distant memory
At times, you want to give up

And clinging to old memories is your only beacon of hope

 It is good to embrace
The unforgettable moments

Smiles can lift a downhearted spirit
We can't always live in that moments though 

We need to move on and create new ones

Taking it one breath at a time...

Carolyn Devonshire May 18, 2014 at 3:08 PM Dear Wilma, So much truth here. Sometimes loss builds walls around us and we can't let anyone new enter our lives. As you express, cherish the memories, but move forward with your life. It's so nice to hear from you again. Hope life is treating you well, dear. Love always, Carolyn
