Into my Past
 |
| First Passport at 16 |
If I were to look
Back into my past
What would I see?
What would I see?
A multitude of
Hopeful
Cheerful
Interludes
Dusted with
The Unremarkable
 |
| Drum Majorette Uni Natal PMB |
Would I change it?
The past
I see?
The Unremarkable?
No!
Not now!
Not ever!
 |
| That boy |
The loves
Along the way
Strengthen
Establish me
The mistakes
I've made
Teach me
My life
 |
| The day with Mom & Dad |
Even more
Than
That
The loves
Gone
The lives
Lost
 |
| On being a Mom |
Will not
Ever
Nor
Can it
Ever
Return
 |
| National Secretary of the Year |
If I were to look
Back into my past
What would I see?
Myriad buoyant
Joyful intervals
Many more familiar
Unexceptional phases
 |
| Representing South Africa in the US |
Would I change it?
The past
I know?
The Unremarkable?
No!
Not now!
Not ever!
 |
| Into my past - 40 years apart |
For my past
Is
Is
Me!
If we changed our past, it would change the person we are today. I like me. Glad you like you!
