A REFLECTION IN TIME

As I lie here in hospital bed
Now 90, I fell in to a dream like
State in which I reflected on my
Past.

Im now 5 it's the 1st day of
School. Such a happy
Go lucky little girl not
A care in the world, holding
Mommys hand as I take my
1st step into that huge classroom
At 1st to scared to leave mommies
Side then as I took around at all the kids
Playing and running around Im off
Running and playing with the rest of them
Then when I get home Im a bounding ball of
Energy and cant sit still.

Now Im 15 and in the 9th grade now in
High school and much more
Independent and doing more but still
Mommy little girl. A whole new
World to explore

Now Im 17 and Im love for the 1st time this feeling is so
New to me I love
Getting to know him
Hes so sweet to me I feel like
A princess

Now im 19 and in college and still Im in love With the man i fell
i love with a year ago

Now im 21 and doIm with
My general education
And still with the love of my life
And now im off to Fresno state.

In our own little apartment

Of there own. Now me and my love
Say own last goodnight and fall into a Beautiful sleep.
