Many of you will remember the story of Cinderella and the glass shoes. It has been interesting over the years watching as the storylines that are shown, in the “romantic” interest themes are so different. Today’s young do not wait for their prince charming to come and rescue them from their life of toil and grime.
I felt the hurt, a couldn’t stop the single tear from falling
you saw my pain, and gently wiped it dry

We played with dolls, we dressed them, told them stories, cared for them, till the time came, when they were put on a shelf, and left there to amuse themselves, they were part of our past.
we fell in love, every day was sun filled
I walked on air and saw every petal of the single rose
you brought to me each day

I dried the petals and safely tucked them away
I knew I would keep and cherish them all my days
Time changes us, sometimes we stay on the same path that our love is on, and often times, as the world opens up to us, we find ourselves in different parts of the city, coming home only to eat, sleep and then we return to the life we have in another part of the “world’…. yes world, because the world we shared with someone at a different time and space, is now no longer where our daily focus is.. Our world has gotten bigger and with it, our thoughts and wants are no longer the same.
One day I asked myself, what was in that pretty vase
for I had long gone past the time
when it was part of what I did that mattered in my every day.
Some of us, can smile, remember the memory and move on. We clean out the vase, and either give it away, or put it to another use … something more in step with how we are … today…
Once upon a time
this was an acreage of vibrant life
that rang with the call of birds,
who had their homes in the trees that stood there

now the land has been cleared
the wild life that had called this area their home
have had to move on
change is the only constant in life
fairy tales, are a part of growing up
the reality we live
through our journey in life
the character we build
the lessons we learn along the way
these are what takes us into beyond

Love is everywhere
love IS forever
material possessions are temporary
the only love that last forever
is one that is free to BE
True love transcends all earthly boundaries
and it all begins
within
