As We Grow Poem by Frances Lillian Bynum

As we age we get see what life and love really is. The emotions that emerge within us we can now embrace. Our hopes and dreams change, because we now see what is really important. We engage with people differently.

Understanding that every connection has the ability to nurture and educate our new mindset. We learn to let go of what won't grow and hold on to what we see as future prospects. It is great to see the potential in everyone and everything. Yet, that potential must grow within a certain amount of time. If it does not, we then need to move on. You see, as we grow wiser, we don't have time to play with the "what if's".

Nor do we have time to adjust the potential of others to make them fit. Gracefully moving through life is an amazing feeling. With every blow engage and embrace the lesson. Education is everything! Allow knowledge to guide you. Don't let your heart lead. If you do, you will never really find your true person within.
