When I see you smile
Watch you briskly move
I stand amazed
Fifteen summers ago
A new soul was born
We almost traded lives
And here you stand tall
Proof that magic is real
That seeds grow into trees
An unexpected gift to us
Wisdom beyond your years
I take daily lessons from you
That love is mysterious
How she captures your heart
Simultaneously setting it free.
You win again.
Filled with resolution,
Fiery determination,
I sprinted and strutted.
Predicting your pace,
How was I to know-
The Spring in your step
The mottled colours of your Fall?
Numbed by your Winter’s breath,
Wilted in your Summer’s heat.
Turning now, there you go again-
Leaving me behind…
With remnants, the residue remains.
Soon, just a ghost of a year
That will haunt yellowed pages
Of history books, stacked high!
A flickering, fleeting wind-
You win again, the race of time,
Blasting the world record-
Filled with olympic breaking news!
Leaving surprised losers everywhere!
