Dear Little Old Me
What would you tell your past self?

May 21, 2022
Dear little old me,
I hope you remember to sleep
Don’t stay up all night,
Lots of things can wait till morning light.
Stop staying up in the dead of night.
Dear little old me,
Go sit out in the breeze.
Nature is a calming place,
Don’t stick around in that stressful space,
Put a little smile on your face.
Dear little old me,
Talk to your friends so you’ll see,
They laughed with you every day,
They only want to know that you’re okay,
You’ll see them all one day.
Dear little old me,
Keep what’s left of your glee.
Life may knock you down,
But get up and look around,
You weren’t the only one on the ground.
Dear little old me,
I know it takes you forever to read.
But art and writing are your passion,
Just saying you might want to take action.
Can’t wait to see your reaction.
Dear little old me,
This letter is for your heart.
Keep on going, don’t restart
Keep on laughing, Your smile will get newer.
Sincerely, You From the Future.

This is a very nice poem! If we could, I would tell the old people a lot of things.

This poem is very expressive. I also enjoy the picture you chose to represent the poem. They both correlate well.
