Here I am between
Yesterday and tomorrow
Sifting through the memories
Sorting out the joys and sorrows
Like a photo album of my life
A prized possession on every page
Yesterday’s shadow lingers on
On to my awaited old age
And of my tomorrows
I’ll greet them with optimism
Although I expect to be persuaded
I’ll resist the urge of pessimism
For tomorrow is yet unknown
Future memories I’m sure to keep
Added to my life’s photo album
Of which I’ll so often speak
Yesterday’s shadows and tomorrow’s memories
An internal work of mosaic art
The result of many years
The shadow of my heart

Thanks Fred. Its poets like you and others here on MPS that read my work that make writing poetry such a joy. I've been on a few other sites, and I've never felt like my writing made as big of an impact as it has here. Thank you Fred and also others who come here to read what I write. I am only one of many poets here on MPS who love and appreciate the craft of written words.
