ODE TO THE YOUNG ADULT CANCER SURVIVOR
I stood at the threshold Of a promising life, Ready to step out bold, Face challenges and strife. I wanted to soar, Like an eagle in the sky. Eager to conquer more, To reach really high. One fateful day I awoke, To a painful, swollen knee, In one terrible stroke, It changed what I was to be. Multiple hospital trips, And neverending tests. Our hearts...

Premium Member Talk like adults, child-like
When debate gets personal and inflamed, You cry: 'Why can't you talk like an adult?' 'Why can't you engage in adult conversation, without the claptrap, rants and rage with hurls of abuse and name calling?' But, I wonder if this is really wise. For out of the mouths of babes big things grow! Little voices, utter unfiltered truths. Resplendent in their...

Premium Member Adults, they tell us
Adults, they tell us, this slow unraveling of innocence into something more akin to survival, the colors fade, the music dulls, and the world, once so wild and wide, narrows into roads lined with expectations and sacrifices. And in the silence of the evening, when shadows creep along the walls like forgotten whispers, I think of my childhood, that realm of...

it is not always us
We get the blame so very often, Less life experience they say. They think they're so much better than us, because let’s face it we’re merely children. Pure and simple no worries on our mind. But even when they scold and frown, the blame certainly is not always ours. What really puts them and us apart, except hours? The only...

Premium Member Snowflurries Swirl
Snowflurries Swirl Snow falls inside the glass globe: A swimming, swirling vision Where four youngsters pose frozen In their run to leap to a win For the longest sliding glide Along an icy, country road Where no traffic flows; Near a row of evergreens that do not grow; Overseen by a pair of pinpoint specks for the black,...

Adults Talking
Skipping to the ending of the page, kids growing up too quick No longer scared of dentist and being alone, no longer a kid Caring far too much about being an adult, a poor young mind being tormented with a stick They promised blue skies creativity without a lid Well rest on the floor trying to cope with the...

Toy
A far fetched story Of toys and factories. Designed and made for a purpose. Children relate as entertainment Adults as memories. Only two buttons lifted the plane A miracle performed by God. Touched gun even before touching pen A politician? Or a villian? Dressed as a soldier A soldier enjoying life. Seems impossible, right? Next day washed and kept safely. But the stains of memories didn't get off. They...
