Rhymes and Reasons

Today is the first day 
 Of the rest of my life. 
 I wake as a child 
 To see the world begin. 
 On monarch wings 
 And birthday wonderings. 
 Want to put on faces. 
 Walk in the wet and cold. 
 And look forward to my growing old. 
 To grow is to change. 
 To change is to be new. 
 To be new is to be young again. 
 I barely remember when 
 My memories are stolen by the morning. 
 Blotted out by the suns hypnotic eye. 
 Today is the first day 
 Of the rest of my life. 
 I wake as a child 
 To see the world begin. 
 On monarch wings 
 And birthday wonderings. 
 Want to put on faces. 
 Walk in the wet and cold. 
 And look forward to my growing old.
