Tendrils


Yesteryear’s experiences expand into memories
~ pictures with feelings ~
     being excited
       maybe a little bit scared.

Reminders that with 
     each experience
        each first day
came a tendril of growth inside.

Experiences full of angst and fear
planted a weakness that felt like it 
   would never heal
     would always rip open.

All from the laughter and tears from 
    all of yesteryear
      all of today
birthed growing resiliency of mind and spirit.

“You can’t be brave if you’ve only had wonderful things happen to you.”
~ Mary Tyler Moore
