Memories

When I look into the past
It’s not my face I see
Instead, it’s a little girl
Unsure of who to be

She is full of hopes and dreams
With passion in her soul
Everything is as it seems
And, for now, she’s whole

If I could go back in time
I’d greet her with a smile
And we’d sit until bedtime
Talking all the while

I would tell her to be strong
No matter what she’d face
For, some trials would be long
But she’d make it through with grace

She would tell me to have fun
And take some time to rest
Enjoy each moment in the sun
And strive to be my best

Together in my memory
We’d find ourselves anew
For I am her, and she is me-
Survivors through and through

Erynn Crittenden

Erynn Crittenden has written poetry since she could hold a pen. This love prompted her to earn a BA in Creative Writing, where she learned how to experiment with syllables and styles. Since then, Erynn has self-published three poetry collections (By the Bones, Transfiguration, and Into the Western Sky) through Amazon. She also writes and publishes plenty of individual poems on her website, and her work has appeared in the Talon Literary Magazine, the Beautiful Poetry anthology by Silent Sparks Press, the #AmWriting anthology by the Wayne Foundation, and Life Blood: A Collection of Vampire Tales by Gary Hill. Erynn is also the creator and host of the Present Poetry Podcast, where she reads and celebrates a different poet every week.
