Hand in hand, we step into the light,
Viewing the world through innocent eyes
Childish, thoughtless, walking free
Never expecting change
For each day brings change
Whether it be small, or large
It is often un-noticeable
Until its culmination reveals its extent
Staring down at each new change
Accepting, Growing, Learning
We forget the simplicity of beauty
The importance of time
With each passing second we grow old
We live through experiences
And we share others
Forgetting the riches we possess
Watching it all with interest
The skies evolve, leaving stars
As the only sign of change
For with each death on earth, a new star is born.

You know that time is our enemy, a lot of younger people do not see this, none of us know what tomorrow holds, nor do we know if we will be here, remember to grasp every moment as if it is your last and keep going forward no matter what

In that new star a beauty that will shine down and twinkle while innocent eyes look up in wonder and amazement till they become a star above and so the cycle of life continues.
I see your very talented pen spilling some good ink here hun. This side of you is a surprise but then not you dance and express your feelings in movement so what not in pen through your words. I hope you are enjoying this site and all it has to offer.Nicely crafted.
