there was a time when on cold autumn days
i would walk on fallen leaves
feel the chilly wind caress my hair
and stroll until comes the eve’
maybe sit a while to listen to a brook
draw a sketch or two or three
marvel at the vastness of the skies
and wonder what life held for me
still i long for days like that
a life with the slowest pace
the gentlest of times
as delicate as lace
There was a song
only we could hear
would call to us
in whispers
and wind
And we’d float
on riversong
heart beating
loud
and
soft
But we fell
and we lost
pushed down
by the
waterfall
And bits and pieces
not enough whole
to stay afloat
on our
dream
The water
carried you away
and the dream
is all
I have
today.
I watched you grow
so fast
so fast
And wondered
how I could stop time
Because I love you
too much
too much
To let you blossom
bigger than my arms
But you are
my sun
my sun
In the darkest of days
And you make me happy
all the seconds of every day.
Happy Birthday My Little One
{Linking up with Alison and Galit.}
My life is a book
A chapter for each significant time
The cover is a tad bit worn
But my story’s worth more than a dime
I devour every page
And I savour every line
I go through chapters slowly
Knowing it’s all mine
Sometimes I lose a page or two
I can’t remember the past
And I try not to skip ahead
To try and make my book last
There is an end, I know
Getting closer by the minute
So I love every chapter
While I’m still livin’ in it!
