What We Learn
is Who We Are

Dusty old room,
memories written
on each and every
corner, like tiny
videos of life, captured
moment by moment

Take the time to stop,
stop and smile, remember,
listen and learn, for this
is living, because
our memories help
shape us into
who we are in the present
and if we truly learn
from those experiences
(good or bad), they will
help shape us into the
lightest soul within our
capability

I'm not telling you
to live in the past
OH NO - just visit
it through memories'
door, from time to
time...

The fast lane is for
those who really
are afraid to live...

Slow down, inhale
your days, exhale
your memories
and grow, shine,
love, mostly, dear ones,
love, for that is what
we were made for
