Everyone's life is a story, someone once said. And I believe everyone's life is a poem waiting to be expressed. Some have and some haven't. Even though time passes too quickly for most of us, a word written down will always be a landmark to a time and a place in our life. Those words will be time machines, taking us back to the smells and tastes of our past and a look at what we once hoped for. Perhaps those words will be only reassurances that we have taken hold of our hope.
