Memory Box

Every 10 years since I was 18 I have written a letter to myselfto be opened 10years later. Next year will be third one I open and the fourth I write. Having moved recently I came across the letters in my memory box and in part it prompted this piece.

Memory Box


 


Has it been ten years since I last wrote you?


Should I start to tell what I’ve been up to?


Sifting back through thoughts and dreams, hopes and schemes


What I’ve done, where I’ve been, repeating themes


 


Open up the memory box, scan back


Who am I now?


Am I yet still on track?


Did I ever once put my life on hold?


Or moving forward – take it on so bold!


 


Memory’s Destiny lies in the past


Founding stone of who I am; meant to last.


They serve me well; my joy, tears and laughter


Moving on to write another chapter


 


Should I shed a tear about where I’ve been


The loves I lost, people, places I have seen


Don’t fear that I am lost along the way


The past informs the path I’ll take today

Steve, this is a wonderful poem, based on a brilliant idea -- to write letters to one's self through the years. I'm so impressed!
Love,
