[bodytext] => As a child everything was an adventure In the world of play I could see myself Playing baseball become Al Kline or Norm Cash In the world of education I could see myself As Davy Crockett fighting Indians Abe Lincoln becoming President At the movies I was always the hero I was Zorro, the Lone Ranger, Flash Gordon On any given Saturday As I looked through my eyes As a teen life became a world of pretend As I dream dreams I was the adventurer, explorer, engineer Being more than I always was as I looked through my eyes I learned about life dreaming the dreams Becoming the hero Words of encouragement and challenges by a young President named Kennedy I was ready to accept and become the man I was meant to be As I looked through the eyes of a young man Going off to war I came to see the true reality of life My world taught me about survival and the sadness of death Of not really being in control My idea of being a hero changed from me to the men around me As I looked through the eyes of war Now as an old man who has expierenced life fully I look at my children and grandchildren and see them dream dreams Becoming the heroes and I just smile knowing how they feel Knowing that life comes full circle they will become what they are meant to be As I look through the eyes of an old man I have no regrets [comments] => 3 [counter] => 182 [topic] => 57 [informant] => docpardue [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => war )

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. ©
