When little hands grasped the air
A curious sparkling stare
Giggles bubbling uncontrolled
Unconditional love unfolded
Oh the sweet bliss of childhood.
Wide eyed and alone
Cautiously, excitedly
The first smell of books and pens
The first chance at lunch with friends
Before realizing the sadness of tests and bells.
Heart racing, thundering on
Butterflies hard to swallow back down
Warmth spreading from finger tips
As heat spreads through quaking lips
Young love, first love's sweetness.
Mind speeding, hands shaking
Excitement building, legs trembling
The sweet smell of freedom
The looming worries of the human kingdoms
The world rife with possibilities in adulthood.
Laughter building, relief sighing
Heart fluttering, Finally, finally happening
The countdown to completion, it's finally over
Arms waving, hugs and tears streaming
The long awaited end to tests and classrooms.
Palms sweaty, Thoughts muddled
Deep breaths, buttons fiddled with
The first meeting
First greeting
The start-line of your career.
Tears trailing, billowing fabrics of white
Joy and wander, sighs of delight
The long awaited first page
The long hoped for fairytail
Life filled with love.
Nerves on end, hands shaking
Smiling for too long, lips aching
Tears of deep joy and gasps of laughter
A small bundle wiggles his fist at the world
Full circle to the beginning we don't recall.
Such is life at the beginning
Such is the start of it all
