Insightful Hindsight Poem
Tammie Swinehart 1974 (Mooresville, IN)
In the tapestry of life, we find,
A truth that wisdom oft reminds,
In moments passed, we were but blind,
Yet hindsight shows with perfect sights.
The choices made, like scattered stars,
In moments dim, seemed right and clear,
But time unveils the truth that mars,
The paths we tread, both far and near.
Through years that pass, the fog recedes,
And clarity emerges bright,
As hindsight's lens reveals the deeds,
Once hidden in the veils of night.
Those lessons learned, in retrospect,
Are etched in shadows of the past,
With 20/20 vision, we detect,
The roads we took, where shadows cast.
Regrets and joys, a woven tale,
A symphony of laughter, tears,
Through triumph's shine and sorrow's gale,
We grow and learn from yesteryears.
Embracing faults, we strive to mend,
To forge a future, strong and true,
With knowledge gained, we now transcend,
The limits of what once we knew.
So as we journey through the years,
Let's cherish wisdom's steady gleam,
For hindsight's gift, so crystal-clear,
Illumines paths of hopes and dreams.
