Poem.45.The Influence

                                          The Influence



Bricks red made of mud
baked in the furnace hot
turned into strong lot ,
ready to face the weight bold.

Child soft is also shaped
 baking little everyday
shadow of days passed
make you grow by each day.

 Sure we think ,do all things
with our body mind and thoughts,
do we do the things same way
if our background not this way.
The childhood,teens and past
seem so distant dream like,
but  influence, it sure has
on each decision we do make.

Written for the Magpie tales- where we write a poem or short vignette using the picture prompt.

What an interesting connection. I completely agree with our past having much influence on our present.

Terrific.

Rashmi,
I enjoyed reading your poem very much.
It is nice to recall childhood memories and sometimes that does happen, out of a shadow!
Best wishes, Eileen
