I recently came across a verse from a poem that I wrote when I was 17. A friend had put his version of it in my yearbook when I was a junior in high school. I thought it would be pretty interesting to do a tribute to the poem "17". . . .about 9 years later!
So, here's my poem "25," as I prepare to turn a "quarter of century" this week.
Enjoy!
