I know life only as I've lived it. Leaving only whispers of where I've been, and vain ideas of where I'm going. Awakening to the dawn of a new day, slumbering to the one now past. I know what makes me smile, and I know what makes me cry. I've felt the warmth of the sun, and the chill of the snow, the wetness of the rain, and the dryness of the wind. I've seen lightning slash across the darkened sky, and heard thunder roar throughout the land. I've learned to let go of the deceased, and I've welcomed the newborn. I've made mistake after mistake, and I've taken things for granted. I've lost my pride, and broke my heart. Regretting only for a moment, before deciding I would not have done it any other way. Because during those times, I tasted the sweetness of honeysuckles, and I felt the coolness of the morning dew, I held the sun and moon in my hands, and I caught a falling star. But my journey through life has just begun, and I have yet to find my pot of gold at the end of my rainbow. I know I have a long and winding path ahead of me, and at times I will want to give up. It will be at those moments that I will remember, how I made it through those storms, and I will once again catch a falling star, or hold the sun and moon in my hands. |
