and I sit here
like a mannequin of moments
reminiscing back on times gone by
and I think about my journey
of a thousand single steps of memories made
all held deep in my thoughts
secured in my heart
I ponder back on memories unwanted
never to be relived
and those so tightly treasured
seen only as pure gold
and I wonder of my past
did I do all the right things?
did I walk the right path asked of me?
did I trip too many times to forgive?
and I am reminded
good or bad
it is all my memories lived
that made me who I am
and I smile
