DMC: "Echoes from the Past" by Kristi Dee Veitenheimer




ECHOES FROM MY PAST

Echoes from my past
             Youth...a distant memory
             of times long ago
             I remember how it felt
             embarking on life's journey

Echoes from my past
             Reminding me I’ve come far
             survived...even thrived
             Growing in wisdom and faith
             reflecting on life's meaning

    "Survived...even thrived" who can ask for more? Nice echoes in form and substance. Made me remember my own impatience that's now morphed to nostalgia. Perfect contentment, no, but I, too "survived...even thrived." Great poem.
