If all of life is but a moment...
I am a little girl sitting
in a windowsill listening
to John Denver wondering
when her daddy's coming
home.
I am a young woman putting
a ring on a finger saying
I will now and always
under a magnolia
tree.
I am a new mother laying
on a hard table listening
to her daughter's cry saying
her name is
Olivia.
I am a soccer mom cheering
for her young son running
across a green field scoring
a goal just for
her.
I am a daughter, a sibling loving
my family, an author writing
characters teaching
me about
myself.
I am a child of God savoring
each second thanking
Him for the blessings hoping
for what tomorrow may
bring.
