Some Things

There are things we learn we don’t want to know.
Things we want to stay but have to let go.
Things we can’t see that shall start to show.
Things that we plant that never will grow.

There are things we see that disappear.
Things that are far while others are near.
Things that scare us and fill us with fear.
Things that make us sad, we shed a tear.

There are things we cherish learn to love.
Things that are gifts sent from heaven above.
Things the just stay that we can’t get rid of.
Things that mean peace like seeing a dove.

There are things that we dream that never come true
Things that block our way and we can’t get through.
Things that we can try but can never do
Things that are red and think they are blue.

There are things we can see when we close our eyes
Things like clocks that mark the passing of time.
Things that are distant and as vast as the sky.
Things that are like wings so we can fly.

There are things that define us who we can.
Things that are beacons so we are able to see.
Things that hold us back others set us free.
Things that are the pieces, making up me.
