You remember me.
When past times faded away
Though many visitors came and gone
I remained in the shadows
Lurking and preserving.
Tender moments were missed.
I was quirky at times
Often kissed by the breeze
Though the windows were gatekeepers
I learned to endure abandonment.
Still I evolved gracefully.
The blunders that ran down my cheek
Were so beautiful, though I couldn’t see
But now I see the error in my ways--
The character that must step aside and lose.
But look at you now.
So elegant and triumphant!
Like the leaf on the concrete when the wind blows
Prosperous in every stumble and stride
Dreams are but one gasp away from your destiny.
I cannot say where you are going.
God knows though
The visitors that you will impress on
The glimpse of hell or the glisten of heaven’s floor
I just pray you remember me
When life makes you choose your destiny.
beautiful read!
