A poem for today:

From the first moment I breathed my first
to the moment I opened my eyes
I realised this world would be for me
the greatest challenge to ever under take
all its knocks all its charms laid afore me
people coming and going as I grew
some staying for quite a long time
some leaving just as quick as they come
each leaving their own foot print in my mind
sitting here I look back and see all that has been
and all that could still be
knowing inside memorys are shut away
like a collection of toys or dolls
of moments that either create supreme joy
or some that create pure sadness
choosing which to hone and reflect on
allow me to grow in the knowledge
that whilst most will touch me and show me
some will hurt me seek to destroy me
but this wont ever stop me from trying
opening up myself to others
so that I may experience life
to its fullest always.
