Around Me

Everything changes

Around Me

 

I look around, and all I see,

is everything in life,

changing around me.

 

The twins, all grown,

make their lunches. I hope they know,

I love them.

 

Engaged at last, Mom and Kelley.

Her one true love, and a man

I'm proud to call my Dad.

 

He's not here to take

my Father's place,

but to be a true friend.

 

Junior year gone, one semester

to go. I can't believe how fast

these past years have gone.

 

Six more months,

and i'll be all grown up. Is it safe

to say I don't want to?

 

Graduation is a tragic moment,

the end of a child,

the beginning of true life.

 

Eight weeks of training,

screaming, running, push-ups,

and ten minutes to eat.

 

It'll be hard work,

but in the end, when I make it,

I'll know it was well worth it.

 

The Airforce isn't for everyone,

but I know it's for me,

helping and fighting for what's right.

 

I see changes now, but the

harshest is still to come, the blanket

 of cold, hard reality has surely blossomed within.

very nice - you span your current life - the moments and important things - the time that changes - how your life has changed - a very personal and revealing write - and if you know something's for you - grab it! nice job!

Well done I really enjoy this.

[David W Moore III]

Good luck. And it won't necessarily be the start of something new, just you in a different place. Stay true!

i always find it a joy to peek into other people's lives through their writing, especially when they are willing to admit it is their life. you do a wonderful job of painting yourself and your thought and surroundings, and make this a very compelling read.

side note, my mother went into the Airforce after her first year or two in college, and i am always proud to say that my mother is a veteran. so, i commend you on your bravery and dedication.
