Looking Back But Learning To Move On

Over the past year I have lost people who mean a lot to me. My poem is about reflecting on the moments I missed and what was never said, in moments when I could.

Memento

Published by Family Friend Poems June 15, 2026 with permission of the Author.

I'm stranded in this moment of borrowed time
As I weep for the moments that have passed on by
Each tear a moment in the river of life

I bear these scars,
This crooked smile,
And laugh in this cracking tone.

My mind tired my body spent,
I only hope one day I'll lay to rest and think of
every moment I've had
And care not for those that have passed me by.
