looking forward


looking forward
and a little bit back,
no, not as far back as
that old black and white photo,
I did look, and put it away,
looking forward and a little bit back
to Thanksgiving dinners and Christmas trees,
to graduations, births, parties, 
places and times where I saw love,
on streets and in crowds, at the 
student concerts where we ignored the
missed notes and applauded the good ones.
too far back, there was no applause so
let's look forward and a little bit
back.
