And a poem to reflect upon.
REFLECTIONS
At Christmas we rummage through the family photos
Tunnelling back to laugh at images of ourselves in earlier times
(“Mum, how could you make me wear that dress?”)
To retell our pasts
Each with different memories, stories, perceptions
Of the past as we think it was
Or would like it to have been.
Turning the weathered leaves of old albums,
We watch ourselves grow, age, mature
Reflecting on who we were, who we are, and who we will become.
