Milestones

On the right near the road

It was hidden from view

The world hurried by 

And nobody knew

A milestone was there

Forgotten by time

Somebody’s memory 

Is now marking mine

Memory’s bonds

Are stronger than stone

While bodies move on

Our minds build a home

Eyes that are windows

Smiles we have shared

The world is oblivious

While our hearts are aware

Time gives us beauty

It converts gangly youth

We hate letting go

There has to be proof

Moments we mark

In our hearts set in stone

Along the path as we pause
Though our journey has grown 

What I am not

I have nothing to say
But I want to be heard
I have nothing to give
But I need to be loved
I am nothing to view
But I wish to be admired
Yet you love me
For what I don't have
And it is profound
