Looking Back At the Footprints In Time
As hour piled on hour and day on day,
Several years drove past as decades.
Past now etched in the sand dunes of time,
Displaced by the winds of a bygone era.
Sweet memories fondly remembered;
Several dreams now lived in reality.
Belief systems formed and strengthened:
Habits that hung on through these hours.
Relationships strengthened over time,
Acquaintances who are but strangers today.
Events that have been reinterpreted,
Worries that have now receded.
Priorities that have shifted;
Goals that have been reached enroute.
Wisdom that has been gained through failures,
Self awareness that has ensued.
Time that great leveller,
Who favours no one as friend or foe.
You are asked to take responsibility,
Judiciously exercising free will to grow.
