Life’s Beginning


We walk… like whispers through the hours of the days… that turn into months… that revolve into years…

Our decisions pull at importance as though this moment is the greatest. As we reverse the pendulum, and peer back to our past, we know all that seemed so important was just flutterings of the mind.

I once thought that my life was complete. Adversity had been confronted with courage, strength and determination. It all fell quickly to the sanded surface at my feet.

The first glimpse that raked itself upon me fell hard upon my eyes in a place that will never hide. I could feel my joy and exuberance fill every crevice of my surroundings. The reflection of my nervous smile threw itself upon me from within your soul.

Not only can I remember first seeing you in all of your perfection, but when I close my eyes to ponder your welfare, I can inhale the emotion of that moment… the moment that my life truly began.

It does not matter in what direction our lives my divert and into what year our bond is magnetized… for after all of my years have past, I will for an eternity have you… my child… in the memory of my life’s true beginning.
