This moment


Yesterday, I was a little girl with a smile

I carried my heart and soul refined

I hopped and skipped as I walked around
Seldom halted to look around


No judgments and prejudices I then held
Knew the world to be my family as I dreamt


Today, I am wiser and I frown
Know the world to be different, as I hound

My ideas and dreams
All wrapped up, in my sleeve

I walk and stumble
Only to find everything rumble

At present I'm happy and content
I know the difference between now and then

I see my loved ones wave at me
Though at a distance they are still with me

I have hope and I have faith
Love that grows and a life that never fails
