Young

Creativity Challenge Day 23- Young

I was a young girl once,
an old soul in a small body.

Big green eyes and a button nose,
on my little girl face.

Snippets of thoughts and memories of that girl reside in me.
While at the grocery store,
"Marry a girl with eyes like her." instructed a man to his son.
Solid Gold dancing with my best friend,
who had a Kick 'n' Go.
Wondering what would happen,
if I were only part of a dream.

Now, I am a middle-aged woman,
an old soul in an older body.
Big green eyes and a button nose,
on my slightly lined face.

Snippets of thoughts and memories of this woman will reside in my elderly self.
I married a man with eyes like mine, it seemed like good advice.
A daughter who dances with her best friend,
who has bike.
I know that in some ways my life is just a dream.

I will be an old woman,
and old soul in an old body.
Big green eyes and a button nose,
on my deeply lined face.

There will be grandbabies, with eyes like mine.
Little boys and little girls who will dance with me.
I discovered that life is a beautiful dream
