For years I have kept journals and diaries, most of which end up going through my shredder (those vents that I wrote in moments of frustration or anger, times of sorrow anbd bitterness now behind me that I need not dwell on) at a later date, though some pages I have kept, reminders, sage bits of wisdom from lessons learned, special times and memories I enjoy looking back on. It is all good therapy, serves a purpose for a time…these footnotes of my life.
FOOTNOTES
Old journals and old diaries,
dashed notes on a page,
just jottings, heart scribbles
on yellowed paper;
times of joy, sorrow, hopes and dreams,
maybe some silly capper,
bits of sage wisdom written down
from a past, forgotten age,
some ramblings from some yesterday,
oft seems no reason and no rhyme;
life’s little notes written to self
left as footnotes of time
and times once lived,
just memories we wrote
about some moment in our life,
our jottings, small footnotes.
