Milestones In Life

Milestones in Life By Franklin Price 11/13/2015 Milestones in life are passing Time stops for none at all From the day that we are born Not so long before we crawl Then unsteady steps we take Next thing you know we run Passing by the markers Headed for the setting sun The first day I went off to school Mom shed a little tear. Not long before I drove a car; Then graduation year A cornucopia of options; So many things from which to choose. A myriad of paths to take; So much to win or lose Off then to a higher school, And in a uniform; Wedding bells and family, working, Moving through the storm The book was getting thicker As I moved from page to page. Twenty-one was gone; When I was young, the magic age. Then through the thirties, forties, The years went rushing by, The fifties and the sixties, Hardly time to blink an eye Those will all be gone Tomorrow's seven oh! So many milestones passed 'til here So many more to go Along the way have made good friends With my wife, on life, a grip Know it's not the destination But the milestones of the trip
