PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

A single petal,

floats upon the wind,

reminding me of summers,

that long ago have been.

~

Carefree times,

shared outside with friends.

Growing closer, growing apart,

some things that start must end.

~

Getting older day by day,

we watch each other grow up.

Going through boyfriends and girlfriends,

and much more tougher stuff.

~

Middle school, High school,

graduation, college.

Learning of the world around us,

gaining better knowledge.

~

But soon reality kicks in,

those carefree times are done.

Your inner child disappears,

and adulthood's finally won.

~

But as I walk reflecting these times,

a smile comes to my face.

And at times I wish I could go back,

to that happy carefree place.

~

Now I've found a real love,

and getting ready to settle.

And still think of the good times,

all because of a single petal.
