"Destined Minds"

REFLECTION

Many a man would gaze and reveal
their hidden desire, but now trapped
by known beauty that weilds it's power well

Ability beyond one's years and beyond
the yearning of this form, sets forth
the challenges of life

Releases all but one man's heart for
this will be the founding father of a
family legacy

Eloquent and clever words that express
hidden thoughts and life that springs
from the heart

Ever moving forward never standing still
this life that quickly dances this way
and that

Lovingly towards the family she has born
leaving all else behind understands too
well that in the end all is one

Obediently she yields to the restraints
of life that conform and shape her life
ensuring that eternity is held fast

Nourishing no more of the youngens for
they have grown and walked out the door
for lives they now their own seek

Grows a new heart and new love for life
that beckons her soul, that desires to show
her heart many a wonderous thing
