contest, Who Am I... sponsor Constance La France

I hold the tears that have fallen on my journey I am old and the years have quickly passed an adventurous life filled with people and places from around the world and found that no matter where...people are the same whenever there is goodwill when finding warmth and compassion we all can share I am the breath that wafts through this journey called life and have weathered the storms that often come each year I grow older and find memories are a river to drink from yet, not a place to swim with shadows or drown in rather quench my thirst and move on as my journey is one I share though take alone
