Innocence and life realized

Autumn leaves,
Cool breeze;
What has become of me?

I sit and remember
Where I have been,
What I have shared;
Things I would change,
Others I cherish.

With the good and the bad,
My life has been grand.
Time is passing by.

I sit and wonder
What now?

As I sit,
A voice fills my ears.
โ€œMommy.โ€
Looking in my child's eyes
It all seems clear.
My greatest accomplishment
Is sitting in front of me.

With all the love and joy
Staring at me,
I sit and ponder.

Times have changed,
Lives rearranged.
This day and age,
How to explain?

Innocence so sweet,
In a world
With no peace.
