Honoring Yesterdays- a poem

THROUGHOUT my days, I’ve always been

Who I was meant to be.

A child, grasping ways of life

And climbing every tree.

THEN, as I grew into a girl,

Embracing each new phase,

I went from all my childhood dreams

To learning of life’s ways.

FOR as we age, it’s true with time,

There’s so much yet to learn.

And as we grow, we come to know

There’s even more to earn.

STILL, as the woman I am now,

With wisdom of the ways,

I carry with me every dream

Of all my yesterdays.
