My 57th Birthday....October 7th 2008 Mood
Tuesday, October 7, 2008 | A Poem/Artistic story

a little girl..the first

of 6

she wonders now

at this time of her life..

still........

what is her calling ?

she listens intently

waiting to hear

what she hasn't ..yet..

 

years gone by..

like watching a spliced movie

from an old 8mm projector

years gone by

that old oak tree

that was so tall

she hugged  it tightly

and climbed to the top

fearing nothing

not knowing what was ahead.

 

a little girl

the first of 6

learned very young

that love had it's price

and tears she cried

were partial payment

for the things she believed

to be true

only to learn

that tears

weren't enough

and that

no matter how old

she grew

love would elude her

and her calling would never come

as long

as she

tried too hard

instead of just

letting

go.
