A Life Spent


The rain came and went
Like my life already spent.
I listened to the clouds roll by
A blue and receptive sky.
I knew my day had changed,
My steps could be unmade.
I held the promise so tight,
Showered by the rainbow’s light.
I held my son’s hand,
Together we could stand.
I listened to the earth grow
As she pushed aside the stone.
The roses strained toward the sun
as we firmly took step one.
