Life's Brief

Life's Brief ©2-7-2015 Afraid First grade Mama's face Far away Head spin Blushin' Silly grin First girl friend Big day School play Lines to say Parents pray Spit balls Get caught Through the halls To the boss Paddlin' Rear end Get home, then Popped again Last day In May Graduate High school waits Large crowd Self doubt Insides shout "Girls are, Wow" Lunch room It's huge Sing a tune Extra food Sports star First car In the dark Pledging hearts School ends Pretend Big whirlwind Life begins Stage fright First write Open mike With the wife Race course Fast horse Can't afford Gambler's sport First child Huge smile Up all night Babies cry Life goes Can't slow Baby grown Getting old Good grief Life's brief Find relief If you believe
