Impressions Of Life

Missing image
As  a baby  at  birth our  impressions  are made,
curled  up  and  fragile upon  our  first  day.
We  learn  we  fail  and  find  our  way  in life,
and  one  day  that  special  one  catches  our  eyes.

Years pass  and  we  help  one  another  through,
even  at  times  we  cant  understand  why  each  of  us  do  what  we  do.
But  that  is  the  very  kindling  of  the fire  within,
for  it  gives  us  laughter  for  a new  day  to  begin.

Now  the years have passed  and  we  are  missing  a few  things,
Our eyesight  our  teeth  and  what  a muse  it  does  bring.
Then  we  become  a senior  citizen  and  our  minds  begin  to  fail,
and  they  invented  memory  foam  and  we  both  replied  "oh  hell"

Wouldnt  you  know  it yet  a  a might  too late,
but  Pa and  I  got us  one  of  those  matresses  for  heavens  sakes.
And  when  we  rise in  the  morning to  our  suprise,
after  we  get  up  our forms  are  still  there  thats  right.

Two  grown  bodies  curled  up  like  when  we  were  young,
only now  those impressions  put us  on  the  run.
Every  morning  when  we  look  back  and see,
two  full grown  babies finding  love  and  thats  the  key.

Impressions  of  time  never  grows  old
they  live  on  with  such  stories  to be  told
To  our  young ones  there with  stars  in  their eyes
expecting  us  to  know  wrong  from  right .

Author notes

Impresions for what you give you so shall receive .So wake with a smile and this old world wil return it indeed .Wake with a frown and your day will be of sorrow and pain .So come on try smiling and start life on the upswing

    Great job Patty. You write so meaningfully. Always with compassion and understanding. You show such a beautiful nature in your words. Not just these but all you write. I admire you and respect you so much. Well done on another really good verse.

  • This was truly beautiful and I really loved reading it. I love your author's notes as well! Great job with the prompt and keep up the great writing. Good luck in the contest!
