Bridges Burned

CHARACTER IS THE SUM TOTAL OF OUR EVERYDAY CHOICES.

Margaret Jensen Author

BRIDGES BURNED

Who to be or who to have been

Was it me, way back when?

My choices defined me

Always remind me

It is, after all, the character I portrayed

Who I am, what I am now

It is I not that caricature of my past

My recent choices remind me

Of the deeds that defined me

Accept, if you will who I am today

Pictures are proof just as impressions in the minds

Of the people who met me when my life declined

Over the years I improved as I learned

How often must I explain the bridges I burned?

What will it take for new images to prevail?

Can't they accept that old ship has sailed?
