The End of an Era

I can lift myself (up)

I can laugh at it (back)

All by myself  

I can feel it come (Yeah)

Its already here (Oh) 

It's amazing how time flies over us 

It's all in my mind (mind) 

It's a dream (dream) 

IT's what my life is about

I can fix a plane (Yeah)

I can think by myself (all over again) 

Look around you 

Look around you 

We're constantly changing 

We're going forwards 

we never look back 

They are all growing up (Up) 

They are all leaving me behind (Yeah) 

I can make way for some new friends for them 

I'll go find myself new ones 

Who are loyal

I believe in God (God)

I can feel him at night (night)

He's my light 

I believe in us (us)

I believe we are special 

I can watch the sky (sky) 

I can see the stars (stars) 

I'm growing up 

Aiming for more (More)

The taller I become (Up) 

It's all a dream 

A bedtime story for me and for you 

It's a wish 

It's a wish 

That we'll someday see.

A nice poem about moving onwards and upwards! Good write!

[MJ]

I like it! This world needs more motivational and uplifting poetry like this. I gotta say though, the way you wrote this it almost felt a bit more like a song with the parenthesis. I can almost put it to chords in my mind, it has this musical quality to it, which is good. Nice write.

great job :) i love it lizardo

I see this as a call and response type poem with a crowd waiting with bated breath on every word of the orator and responding where appropriate (much like Mass, lol)
Being left behind means our comfort zone - our bubble is wrecked and we have to start from scratch which is not easy - I was kept behind at school and watched life long (well life-long for a 10 year old lol) friends progress to the next school. Made me the oldest in school but the loneliest too. It had profound effects on me. I can relate to this big time Lizardo. Well penned dear friend. - oh, wonderful image choice too. :)

I love it!!
Well done!
Keep it up!

Lizardo, I tend to use a lot of parenthetical additions in my writes, keeping some ideas separate but totally enhancing the words it is joined with. You do this very nicely. It chops ideas apart only to allow the reader's interpretation to put them back together, a very nice touch. This is a very very nice write, maybe the best of yours that I have read. Great work! take care...dan

Part of growing up, I guess, is finding the self and our dream fulfilled and sharing the goodness with others. Simple and powerful...:)......

Thanks Sami :) I named if end of an era, because I feel how everything is changing around me, but changing for a good cause, I feel like I'm growing up. I finally feel happy and inner peace :)
Thanks Sami, for this amazing review, it really means a lot :)
