The path I took has led me here
Though I know not why I came

An entry tempts my curiosity
To pass it by, would be a shame

A few steps closer, and I’ll be there
Though I know not if I should

Enter the darkness awaiting me
Perhaps I’ve misunderstood

What brought me to this place
And why I’m afraid to go in

For what lies ahead is destiny
To pass it by, would be a sin

No Matter the Distance ~ #poetry

Please don’t let go, mommy!

I can still hear him cry

Seems like only yesterday

But how the years go by

Once counted on for everything

He’s got his own life now

But should he ever need me

I’ll get to him, somehow

For no matter the distance

Nothing can keep us apart

For that little boy, all those years ago

Is the one who stole my heart

Too easily, it slips on by
Just like that, it’s gone

Thinking I could get some sleep
Then suddenly, it’s dawn

It seems I’ve lost an hour
Just like that, it disappeared

One minute is was two AM
The next, it felt so weird

Sixty minutes passed me by
And all I did was blink

In my opinion, daylight savings
Does nothing more than stink!
