I decided to catch these invaders
before they decided to multiply anymore.
Grabbing up a tiddler’s net
I raced around the garden
catching them one by one,
until I looked at what I caught.
They weren’t a group of miniature UFOs,
but a gathering of fireflies.

That the spotlight would shine on you,if you followed your dream through.However, if that dream should ever stall,I’ll be here, I’ll catch you if you fall.You took those first tender steps,on the treadmill to your satisfaction,walking the narrow line,between celebration and rejection.You posed with the beauty queens,as you climbed towards the top.At several stages, you…
and then you see oneyou haven’t seen in yearsand moments laterit is all hugs and tearsas the years fade awayto the days when you were young.You sit and reminiscetimes of long ago,but your time togetheris compressed to the year.You stand up to say goodbye againamong the hugs and tears.
