Life In a Flash

Born into this World, clean in both heart and soul Untarnished except for God’s pure hands Sitting up by myself, consuming more and more A language starting to form in my head My cries in the day and night are for wanting Crawling…next walking, familiar faces of those who love me Words forming in my mouth, the amazing effort of my first word My parents are always smiling, full of love and support I am only young but I sense that they will always be there The World growing more exciting everyday Friendships are forming with others like me Fun and games everyday…all day long One day the meaning of another word….Pain Pain from falling, broken bones, excruciating Still whether the morning brings sunshine or clouds I can still always feel the love all encompassing School days are fun, I learn and play Secrets about boys and other things Friendships becoming more solid and grounded I love school…I love learning My mind is ever broadening, taking in everything My mind is like a sponge, soaking up life The teenage years come and go My attitudes and beliefs strengthening By the time school is finished, some boys have come and gone Though nothing serious called Love The feeling was infatuation My parents still proud of me and of the young woman I’ve become I still feel their love, still growing stronger every day Now it’s my turn to fall in love Letting my guard down and being myself He brings out the best in me, the experience so fulfilling A commitment comes next, one we both believe in Words we say to each other, full of meaning A love with no boundaries A love where the two of us become one In every sense, our love making passionate On a level all its own Nothing can compare Truth, honesty, respect, love, patience….envy, resentment, anger Words that describe us Torrents of tears wasted on my broken heart Broken hearts can mend and they usually do One positive to come from the tumultuous relationship He has left me alive with another life inside of me One of Gods Angels sent down to me I have been blessed with this good fortune I will carry this little soul inside me carefully And I will be like my parents were….all smiles The bond between mother and child is automatic and immediate When I think I can love no more…I keep going The birth, one of the most demanding, memorable days of our lives The pain, but I would do it all again The special, intense first look into my babies eyes The first smile, that makes me smile I want to be the best Mum for this little girl Give her everything I possible can There’s one thing my daughter will never go without And that is love, the most important ingredient Love again with no boundaries A love that is so deep rooted I would kill to protect her Keep the innocence as long as I can The day will come when there are more wrinkles and greying hair My beautiful swan will leave her home I worry I will go through the rest of my life alone My wish is always to have my family around The day will come when they too depart By then I hope I have been in love…true love I hope to experience all the joys in life As I sit back in a comfortable rocker I look around me at my life taken in photos Memories that will never be lost I sit and hold out my hand for my partner, my soul mate Soul mates do eventually find each other Even if it takes a lifetime. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
