The NaPoWriMo challenge is to write a poem a day for the month of April.
Milestone or Tombstone?
Emotional Milestones
are tombstones
of our heartbreaks
and triumphs.
Sorry reminders
of our
mistakes and
proud monuments
of eternal love.
Milestones show
the soul’s path
and its
coveted destination.

When we seek to learn from life, we must live through glee and strife. I like the way you put it better… more eloquent. 🙂
Rachel, I liked your words better, thanks…
Our heartbreaks and triumphs are truly milestones – to remind us of what we learned from them.
Yes they are, Thanks Corinne for visiting and commenting.
Loved the way you wrote about our milestones. We all have come a long way havent we?
Yes we have, Rimly. Life takes us to places we never imagined we would go to, thank you for reading and and for your lovely comment.
Bellissima 🙂 Our highs and lows… the waves of destiny… and our own decisions…
Loved how you put those contrasts together…
