Life

I've reached the age of going to school,
learning letters, and the golden rule.

I'm growing fast thats no lie,
I've just graduated into junior high.

Classes, ballgames, parties, and fun,
my wonderful life has just begun.

Friends, teachers, pets, and, Beaus,
dresses, proms is a part of lifes little woes.

I'm a senior now and all is well.
These twelve years have really been swell.

Off to college to get a degree.
I'll have to work hard for these are not free.

I'm engaged and marriage is soon,
with family, friends, and the most handsomest Groom.

God joined us together a family to make.
A wonderful blessing. He makes no mistakes.
Thats right!! Twins you see 
It's a boy for you and a girl for me.

God was so good blessing our home.
With lots of memories for now they are grown.

I'm a Grandmother. Time has gone by.
I smile with the memories, but never a sigh.
For me no end is in sight.
My real life begins with my heavenly flight.

Margie, how well you convey the way time passes by so quickly! We must appreciate and be thankful for every minute. The last two lines sum it up nicely. Thank you for sharing this, Carolyn
