Blink of Time
I. A Beginning:Walking along the old park path; trees swaying to the melodious winds.
The marching band of ducks parade around the shallow pond.
A face beautify adored by the rays of sunlight that dance around her every step.
The leaves fall gently in front; to pad her path: Crunch, Crunch.
I make my way towards her like a butterfly fluttering to a blossoming flower; Hello.
II. Bels of Anew:
The bels toll joyfully and loudly like a choir of angels.
I await with friends anf family wearing the smiles of happiness.
The door slowly opens; her dress white as the first falls of winter snow.
Tears slowly flow freely as a thawing spring brook would.
This chapter of life ended; A new one begins with the ringing words; I do.
III. New Life:
Phone ringing at work. Honey can you please come home? I have some news.
Honey? Whatever could this news be? Please sit down; I'm pregnant.
Deer-eyed shock for a moment; then simply glowing smile of exicitement.
9 months float by slowly and quickly; dropping like single sands of an hourglass.
Breath Honey! Just one more push. Slap! A Cry! Congratulations its a boy!
IV. Golden Years:
Sitting in the audience as our son walks; soon to college he goes.
Time began so slow for us; but seemingly it passes now in blinks.
Walking hand in hand; we continue to travel our life's road.
Old park where we met so many years ago.
As we walk down the old path with leaves guiding us; A new couple is born before us.
V. Goodbyes:
Looking into those smokey hazel eyes that I've so grown to love.
I shutter and tears begin to free fall; I know now time's boney hand has caught us.
Old friends and family stand beside me: Grief, shock, and feeble attempts to cheer.
Kneeling; giving a kiss to your now cool cheek; tears run quivering.
Worry not my love; I will see you soon enough; soon enough.
