Creative Challenge ~ Time to Time

Life In Motion

As a child the days were long, tomorrow a dream,

Running carefree in summer with the sun on our faces,

Or in winter sledding, making snowmen all bundled up,

The first date, the first kiss that jolt of emotion,

First love, not the final one but special anyway,

Saying, “I do” with promise so bright,

Thinking everything is perfect, this life we chose,

Reality sets in, the pain, the laughter,

Finding perfection was but a dream,

Pretending it will get better,

Living the false life dragging you down,

Who is this person that never used to be,

Where did you go, this person I do not like,

From time to time a flash of her, then gone again,

Then finding that life does have wings,

To step away, to find that child

In that image, you find the courage,

Real love is letting you be free,

To be the person you were always meant to be.
