Traces
The future always seems so far away, as the present at once becomes the past.
One moment after another, defines who we are.
We make plans, we take action.
We comfort, we turn away.
We blame,  we inspire.
We forgive, we hold grudges.
We run, we fight, we honor.
We laugh, we cry.
We make mistakes.
We triumph.
Life happens.
Each moment,  just a flash, leaving traces of who we were.
