"rearanges" poems
Time is a thing that changes
Our scheduals vary, life rearanges
There are times that rush
and others that hush
the racing whir called "growing up"
A life begins in a single moment
and the soul inside is who should own it
on your birthday, mom and dad rejoice
as you, precious child, first lift your voice
and cry
One day, you take your first steps
Then eventually learn to express thoughts and concepts
you see many exciting new places
and come to love many kind faces
the school years come
mother says "Don't miss the bus or you'll be late!"
in a few more years you're on your first date
the time of decision and the path you will choose
comes all too quick and you need all the advice you can use
what kind of person will you become?
Then you make an alliance that's like no other
because this special friend is also your lover
and together you embark to conquer life
and overcome the struggles that can sting like a knife
Tears and laughter, anger and grace
each has their time and all have their place
you raise your family and teach your heart
and hope that what you've built wont fall apart
Like the autumn wind, old age comes
rattling the leaves that once were young
your children have begun the time of their own
and you have loved, taught, and shown
the story of your time is told by the lines on your face
and memories remain like delicate lace
