The 'It' that was missed...
I know I was told many years ago...
Many times in life as well...
That I wouldn't miss it until it was gone...
Yet when I had it I never understood what 'It' was.
It... was one more time down a snowy hill, filled with laughter,
and childhood dreams...
It... was catching just a few more fireflies, before the nights became,
just a dark and lonely place.
It... was the trust given freely, until betrayed... then becoming impossible,
to ever capture again.
It... was the hug and kiss each night, with the so familiar phrase...
"nite nite I love you, I love you too, now go to sleep"
It... was the hot summer days, wading in creeks, the cold winter ones,
secretly hoping for another snow storm.
It... was the family, taken for granted and let go of so easily,
as youth passed into age.
It... has become each moment missed, each second chance gone by,
each hour lost to the end of another day.
It... turned into a life of survival, of staying strong, and searching,
searching for ways to not miss all the 'It's' I had to let go...
It... Is seeing more in the little things, capturing to tiny moments,
Feeling, just Feeling the world... ... Before.
Before 'IT' is forever gone....
