Eight

At eight years old,

I live in the moment.

I am not the most outgoing,

In fact I keep to myself.

But I love school and softball,

And I am very determined in both activities.

I live in the moment.

The world is huge to me,

It is filled with exploration opportunities.

I build forts

And I don't worry about the future.

I live in the moment.

I can't wait for fresh baked cookies

That smell like chocolate and sugar.

Or for my friends to come over and play.

I live in the moment.

What comes next does not matter.

In the moment

Is where I thrive at eight years old.

I don't worry or fret,

Everything is here and now,

In the moment.
