The List
Viewed Last 24 Hours: 1 time

                The List

 

Watched the old man walk away

into the distance of the past.

Two thousand eleven worn and frail

forever knowing it wouldn't last.

Hopes and dreams no longer such

for time did pass them by.

The clock ticked on in steady rhythym. Then...

brilliant flashes past midnight sky.

And the baby cried.

Not tears of pain nor sadness formed

within those eyes so new. No...

Two thousand twelve began it's life

with hopes and dreams right on cue.

And now for one that witnessed all

upon an electric viewing screen.

With faith in God a list was made.

The list of hopes and dreams.

And a smile took form.
