Years Gone By

A Poem

A Potter
As one year goes by and

another one begins

It makes us remember

things that have happened and the has-beens.

Remember that and remember this,

what about the times, and why did that happens.

When did childhood end and adulthood start?

I believe when we weren't looking,

and began filling the memory cart.

As you look back on the stages of life,

remember everything you can.

From mistakes, to accomplishments, to lessons learned

Because we know that nothing's without strife.

But in the end, no matter what else will be,

You will always have friends and family.

Remember the ones who were there during the "ifs", "buts", "whens", or "whys"

The ones who've been there during the years gone by.

I love to write, from creative writing to poetry, and more. I love to inspire and motivate others. I feel that the best way to reach and motivate others is through writing, which is something I've done since...  View profile
