Just A Memory
One Of Us, Unofficial Challenge By Kayleigh Fraser
*
If tomorrow starts without me
Am I stuck in yesterday
Will the past be all I see
Will I have seen my last today
And if it’s true, time waits for no one
And I’m truly left behind
Will I be remembered for what I’ve done
Will you remember me as kind
Or will I, just like the minutes
On a clock, just fade away
No one remembering me in it
Another memory betrayed
Or will tomorrow lose some meaning
Will what I offered be revered
Will it tarnish its beginning
With my presence being severed
Will the efforts in my living
Stand against the rush of time
Will a tomorrow, come without me
Be better than the one it left behind

Cabin Fever Because of Snow, Sleet, and Freezing Rain That Turned to Icy Roads
What Is Cabin Fever? The short answer is that cabin fever is restlessness from being in a confined area. Cabin fever is the distressing irritability or restlessness experienced when a person or group is stuck at an isolated location or in confined quarters for an extended time. Research shows that prolonged cold, gray skies, and being stuck indoors can trigger mood shifts similar to “winter blues.”

Well done… great entry ✅
Questions I ask every day I wake up. A beautiful, and very emotional piece. It makes me want to hug you. I felt every feeling in this compelling poem.
Such a very important question. Will we be just a memory...such a sad and wistful mixture of feelings and emotions. Beautiful.
Beautifully written but kind of sad imagining that those who care for you would not remember or carry a piece you inside that would long outlast your days on earth.
This is beautiful, Kelli. Well done.
Quite an emotional piece and giving all a lot to think about themselves as well as others.
Ohh Kelli! Well done 🥹 This feels so heartbreaking but so lovely to read 🤍😇
