" Looking Back " By Jacky Kapadia Looking back through quiet lanes of time, Where faded echoes softly stay, Each memory writes a silent rhyme Of lessons gathered along the way. The roads once walked with restless feet, Now shimmer with a wiser glow; What once felt bitter or incomplete Has shaped the strength we come to know. The past, though distant, gently speaks Through moments carved in heart and mind; In every loss the spirit seeks A deeper truth it hoped to find. So looking back is not regret, But gratitude for paths we tread; For every dawn the past has set Lights brighter dreams that lie ahead. ✨ ==================END=================== #poetry, #poem, #poetrycommunity, #poetrylovers, #poetrywriting, #creativewriting, #modernpoetry, #inspirationalpoetry, #motivationalpoetry, #poemoftheday, #writerscommunity, #writersofinstagram, #writerslife, #lookingback, #lifejourney, #reflection, #memories, #lifequotes, #inspiration, #selfreflection
