Just Reminiscing... #InspirationalPoetry

Thoughts of the past criss-cross on my mind,
I pause from the present and take a look behind,
I peer at what has been&oh!what a joyful feeling,
I'm just reminiscing.

I look at myself now,
Gently wondering when it all began and how,
To imagine I grew from a very tiny mould,
Is a knowledge to me that's much more precious than gold.

I remember when I was twelve years old,
With all the advice and stories I was told,
It only seems like yesterday,
But all those years have simply rolled away.

Once upon a time I was single and independent,
Now all that freedom has with the wind away went,
Although I'm not so bothered about not having for myself time,
But back then upon my schedule I was completely prime.

I also remember,
How I often fell ill every December,
Everyone thought I was a terrible weakling,
And why I was always sick?I helplessly have no inkling.

There are some songs of wayback that I still love to sing,
Their messages are timeless and bells of nostalgia they'l always ring,
Whenever I get a chance to remember them,
Rips of the past they help to neatly hem.

There was a certain time when I became rebellious,
Stubborness was the foundation of my heady sub-conscious,
Looking back now I wonder what came over me,
What influenced me to live like the raging of the sea.

Back then I made so very many mistakes,
Now it's like a bad dream that one from it suddenly awakes,
In all I did ignorance was a major stakeholder,
Now all those deeds are reference points in my experience folder.

Although the past you cannot change,
The present for the future you can tactfully arrange,
I delved into my memory archives to see the records it had been keeping,
I'm still glad to say that I'm just reminiscing...
