Reflections of the Past, Images of the Future

poetry

By Lynda SpargurPublished 3 years ago Updated 3 years ago 1 min read

Looking into a mirror

And what I see

Are tainted reflections

Of what once was me

Slowly step by step

I planned the road ahead

Making life for me

Not for life instead

I studied all the books

And got by all the tests

I've kept on pushing forward

Not stopping for a rest

Now looking into a mirror

And what I see

Images of the future

What will be me

I will not stop right here

I'll keep on moving on

Reaching past my limits

I know it won't take long

Reflections of the past

Are not important to me

Only images of the future

Are all I now see
