'Who You Were Then' Poem by Linda Winchell

What you have become today
Is due much impart to the past you’ve lived.
Leaning to be a better person
And maybe learning just how much
Of yourself to give.

Or maybe from living in the depths of hell?
And getting away from it.
Learning then from all that had come your way
And not living in-dwelled within hell’s pit.

Who you were then
Determines the Who you’ve now become.
Stronger and taking you to heights never dreamed
And still leaving more room for more of life to come.

So when think of asking yourself, ” Is this all there is? ”
You may remember what I’ve written
Was learned from all that you have lived.
