As I went on my walk today, the sun was behind my back and I could see my shadow. At that moment, it was 1966 and I am back in the sixth grade at Crestview Elementary School in Waco, Texas reciting the poem "My Shadow" by Robert Louis Stevenson.
I remember my sixth grade teacher, Mrs. Fletcher. She had red hair and bright blue eyeshadow. We were always having to memorize something and reciting it in front of the room.
When I got home from my walk, I went to my books and I found the book of poems by Robert Louis Stevenson that my father had given me back in 1962 and there was the poem "My Shadow".
It is amazing what our brain stores! It was a good day to reminisce!
