Array ( [sid] => 151302 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Growing Up [time] => 2009-07-06 00:31:56 [hometext] => bordem:) [bodytext] => his first air of breath was golden fresh
he was a newborn
and he grew as most newborns do
he grew to a toddler
curious and attention hungry
and from a toddler he grew into a teenager
listening to his loud loud music
hanging out with friends
making mistakes all along his trail
and from a teenager he grew up to be a young man
he went off to college to fufill his dreams
along the way he met a woman
he graduated college and got married
he grew into an adult
he had a house
he had a car
he had love
and then there was another breath of fresh air
and this boy was his boy
and he watched his boy grow from a newborn to a toddler
and from a toddler to a teenager
and from a teenager to a young man
and from a young man to an adult
and all along the way he saw
love goes a long way
from that first breath of golden fresh air
to the last stale breath of everlasting life [comments] => 2 [counter] => 180 [topic] => 43 [informant] => bucksportwaldo [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => oops )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
