Ten years ago
Alone and dejected
A flower and my thoughts
A pitcher of tears

Nine years ago
Regretful and ashamed
A picture and a poem
A tissue box

Eight years ago
Renewed and excited
A wardrobe and a car
A set of keys

Seven years ago
Confident and powerful
A girl and a job
A pair of rings

Six years ago
Thankful and blessed
A child and a house
A pack of diapers

Five years ago
Joyful and proud
A family and a life
A clump of bills

Four years ago
Shocked and scared
A doctor and an X-ray
A haircut

Three years ago
Terrified and distraught
An ambulance and a stretcher
A prayer

Two years ago
Saddened and lonely
A hospital and a bed
A corpse

One year ago
Alone and dejected
A flower and my thoughts
A pitcher of tears
