John White is right on as usual.
it’s amazing how perceptions
can change with age
what is thought insignificant
in youth can, in later years,
become fond even life-
affirming memories
what was just a kiss
is later a love never forgotten
what was just a chat
becomes a tender memory of someone lost
what was just a song
turns into a portal to a different time
what was just words on paper
can give voice to one who no longer lives
