On My Way
You started out as a canvas
That my thoughts and dreams flowed freely through
A million dances
The meaning behind the view
I fell in love quite quickly
I wrote for fun
My pen lies thickly
The words worth a ton
With arms wide open
Everything has changed
The story so spoken
The poem arranged
I'll show you love
I'll show you everything
The white dove
The lonely shoestring
Now that I'm older
Responsibilities consume time
The regrets ride my shoulders
I appreciate what's mine
Poetry has shown me love
Love has shown me her
She is my true love
She is but a fleur
All that you've given me
I'm thankful for
I'm not all I could be
I walk through the door
The future laid before my feet
The pathway to knowledge
They sit and weep
I'm on my way to college
