I send out the postcard wishes
To friends who need cheer
Making it clear I remember them
And in so doing
Find the lost link to
Remembering me
Window pane reflections
And antique mirrors
Gave no glimpse
Of the girl who skipped stones
Over the water
Or walked on air
In meadows green
Til I took the time
To set aside the time
To be kind and courteous
Enough to stop making excuses
For the thief who stole my smile
I let the sun lighten my hair
And lightened the weight upon
My tired shoulders
By standing up straighter
And lifting my eyes
That the height of my spirit
Remembering me
First, as I was
Second, as I am
Third, who I became
Fourth, who I could still be
It was not hard to do
Once I forgot the tales other's told
Without their knowing the ins and outs
Of the maze that makes up my starts and endings
The curves and corners to the curls
That dance across my marvelous mind
Tonight, in good company
Remembering me
