Just Stating the Obvious Poetry Contest

How fast our childhood goes. It starts out like a tiny stream, then like a river flows. This river which is life will carry us perhaps to college. Most become a husband or a wife. Once married, we want more! We work and save so we can have the things that we adore. Such different things folk dream of, yet so many things the same are what most people get! A house with a fence, perhaps a tree in our front yard, and then kids come. We are a family. Running, running, life goes on with twists and turns. One day we see it’s almost gone. Just stating the obvious am I. We race through life like rivers, and then we die. April 30, 2021 for Brother Jacob's Just Stating the Obvious Poetry Contest
