A Place in the World

My Life Within

By Ashley TenoldPublished 4 years ago 1 min read

The Excitement in the air

Slowly dwindling down

Brushing back my hair

Knowing life may make me feel drown

Then the laughter

The light of a child's smile

My day becoming lighter

Even if for a small while

The gentle hugs felt

Feeling the warmest and sweetest of touch

Fueling myself to not wilt

By the love that gives me a crutch

Though the Rainbows and brightness we see

Holds so much excitement

The love and joy my little ones give me

Brings so much fulfillment

Though I know there is more to this life

That can be seen in other ways

I don't feel the strife

Even though it may seem like a maze
