On a drive home
I see My life in front of Me,
A tooth I have grown,
An embroidery Iv'e sewn,
My first day at school,
The breaking of a rule,
A boy I have kissed,
A loved one Iv'e missed,
A daughter who came
from a love so untamed,
Her first steps in summer,
Oh how I do love her,
I see her grow,
Watch her play..
Wait, an animal up ahead
in My way.
I swerve to miss
The instance has passed.
I rush home to hold
The one wh will last.

~It's frightening how quickly things can happen and change for us. This poem got me thinking about just that. Great work. Take care. *Peace.

Hey! This is wonderful. I love the way you highlight the transitory nature of things. Let's all go and make the best of what we've got while we've got it.

Thanks to all of you at D. P. this is a really wonderful "family" to be in!!! My own family is a litte sparse, and a bit scatterd about the world. No I kinda feel like one of the Waltons!! LOL

Sash.
Loved the "Kodak" moment. So glad it wasn't the last frame and you were able to return home. Good poem.

Be well
