Notes From The Train
Remember when shoes didn't matter
or clothes were okay being dirty at the end of the day because they were evidence of a day well spent. Remember when jewelry was a piece of string with painted macaroni and you didn't care because you thought it looked marvelous on you. Remember when responsibility was too long a word to bother knowing. When holding hands was a big step and made your heart soar. Remember when the only pain you really knew was the gash in your knee from playing too rough with the boys on the street. Remember hopscotch. Remember marbles and tops and swimming at the public pool. Remember training bras and tea sets. Remember when being in trouble usually resulted in a spanking. When the only real mistakes you made in life were coloring outside the lines. Remember when today was all that mattered and all you could think about, so much so that you wanted to do it again tomorrow.
Remember these things
But most importantly remember who you were
for who you were
is not who you are now but who you want to ultimately be
... This is my journey.

The sky cried tonight and I felt the pain of a thousand souls lost. a thousand souls found. a thousand souls scattered like confetti on the ground
The sky cried
and a child cried
and the world held her hand
