Reflections
The past is always with us;
Yesterday, of course, and more,
Lurking in the background
Stamping firm our genes.
Think of ancestral traits;
Physiognomy, our gait
Represents a past forgotten,
Mirrored images of days gone by.
Self examination
Reveals them to us.
We are but reflections....
My children are me, as
I am my father, ad infinitum.

I almost went the same direction, and I'm glad you got this take on the image done and done well.
Really liked this one.

Well said.
Nicely written, but also rather moving...
I so agree Rel. We are reflections of the past and the future. :-)
One of your best, Rel...that last line really nails it...
