Introspection
By Bobbie Troy
periodically
throughout life
we must gather
the bits and pieces
of our selves
that we shared
or have lost
along the way
like sheep
gathering their lambs
we must collect
and protect
all that we hold dear
about our selves
and learn to be
just to be
Very nice
A peaceful thought.
What a lovely poem. Thanks
Lovely! Quite calming, and makes one stop to think and take a deep breath of fresh air.
As always, enjoy the insight and poetic words of Bobby.
Excellent Bobbie, very thought provoking!
Nice sissy …one of my fav’s! Makes u take a moment …
Very thoughtful — really liked it, Bobbi — keeping writing!
Thank you, everyone!
This is exactly the reason I am compelled to write. Thoughts and ideas and feelings and images and people and places that have impressed upon me so much that I am compelled to gather them together in words. Thank you for sharing yours.
