Growing Up To Be Little

the stage is set
for a magic trick of a life time
renewal and rebirth
the act of growing up to be little

the past life forgotten
lessons learned carried forward

a whirlwind of glitter
inside a solar powered box
turning the many wheels
of the generator

getting old enough to forget
the child you once were
and are about to be again
eternal

sometimes everything changes
when you see your mother
