Linda,
Wow! Truly worthy of a six star rating, sorry I am all out.
This is such a beautifully penned free verse, it gives one much to think about. Your message is very insightful and will have one reaching back for those good memories.

I believe we all have taken that walk down memory lane and asked ourselves where did the time go and did we live life to the fullest. My friend, I have made many mistakes in my life, but I am so grateful that we serve a loving and forgiving God. I am blessed to be In His care and that in spite of all my faults, he saw my needs. His grace and mercy has shown me favor.
Thanks for sharing a most profound read.

Blessings and lots of love...Portia

    Hi Portia, I think we all have all done things in our lives...we would rather not remember...but those are the things that gave us wisdom in life...wisdom that put us on the right path...it'd like learning how to drive...you may go off the path a few times...but with experience and discipline...you learn how to stay as close on that path as you can...

    and with the love of God...with all the gifts and blessings He has given us...we have nothing to fear...

    thank you so much for a truly wonderful review...and I thank you for just the thought of your six...I am so grateful...and you are so very welcome...God Bless...be safe...love you...Linda xxoo

Fresh imagery: mannequin of moments--bonus alliteration. I like the phrase did I trip too many times to forgive? Re memories unwanted--alas, too many of these for most of us! Don't get me started. Cheers. LIZ

The author's words were touching, filled with memories and are creative.
I thought about my own past and where I am today. I love the poem
Linda. Remember many times we did what was right at the place
we were in. This poem is beautiful and brings you to who you are today!

Your words made me think of times long gone and wonder too if we ever look back and are satisfied with what we did or attempted to do, very evocative, thank you

Enjoyed your look back through the years and your conclusion that in total
they represent you - who you are today.
It is healthy to look back but even better to look forward and make happy memories.

    You are very welcome, Linda. I don't necessarily look back more, but even though I'm older, I still look forward to things. The mind agrees, but sometimes the body rebels:) Hope your eye heals soon!

Hello Linda,

Well, girl, I think this is one of your best if not the best so far because I can relate to it so much.

With my health issues and age that's all I do is sit and think about all of the good old memories from years gone by. Even late at night when sleep won't come, my mind wanders. I think that line is from a poem that I wrote many years ago, but it's true for most of us.

This is a great poem. Many of the older members will review it saying just what I have said, "I can relate."
And, that picture you selected is just perfect for your words.

I'll be so glad when both of us can start writing again. We both have a lot to say, but we can't because of our health right now. But we will, right?

Take care of those eyes...I have had to wear two-sided medical-grade adhesive tape on my upper eyelids every day for years just to hold them open so that I could see. The MS shut down the muscles that control the movement of my eyeballs and eyelids 28 years ago. Without the tape, I would basically be blind. So, YOU listen to what your doctor tells you...Take care old buddy and I'll talk to you soon...Bill

That is amazing if you can look back on your memories and still smile. That is very hard to do in this crazy life. God has truly blessed you if you can. Thanks for sharing this important thought in a creative way with your well written free verse. Bill
