The past, a tapestry of threads so fine,
Each woven with a story, yours and mine.
It whispers tales of triumphs and of tears,
Of laughter echoing across the passing years.

A long, long poem, chapters etched in time,
Of loves that burned, and dreams that once did climb.
The sunlit days, the moonlit nights so clear,
Each moment captured, held in memory dear.

From youthful mischief, to wisdom’s gentle grace,
The tapestry unfolds, revealing every trace.
Of lessons learned, and mistakes we’ve made,
The echoes of our choices, never to fade.

The weight of sorrow, the joy of freedom’s flight,
The past, a teacher, guiding us toward the light.
For in its pages, we find the strength to rise,
To face the future, with courage in our eyes.

So let us learn, from every thread we find,
Embrace the past, and leave the sorrows behind.
For in its wisdom, lies the key to grow,
And build a future, where our spirits glow.

A long, long poem, a timeless symphony,
The past, a whisper, guiding you and me.
Through joy and sorrow, triumph and defeat,
Its lessons learned, make our lives complete.
