Rear View Mirror
Twist my neck and turn my head
I see behind me my life instead
I see my parents family that once was truth
Now, I see my children in their youth
My home is happy our lives are calm
Farewell tumults and constant storm
The waters here are peace
The looking back, has begun to cease
Joy strikes a resounding chord within my life
This life started the day I became a wife
I placed my journey within his care
I left a life torn with despair
How clearly can I see just now
This path behind me began with a vow
The rear view mirror proves the choice I made
It shows me the goodness and happiness laid
In every stone of life I've tread
I see, I feel, the life I've lead
Where there were brambles and trenches of malice
There are now petals and buds and a floral palace
Proof in petals of divine intervention
I left a structure stymied in contention
I see my life in this REAR VIEW MIRROR
Now, all of the sudden, my life is clearer.
what? I love your poems
