Poetry - Up Up and Away

Up Up And Away

Many years ago, a small girl was just wondering,
Such big eyes, flowing dark hair, filled with curiosity.

Surrounded by butterflies in a field full of wildflowers,
“Oh, I hope to grow up happy, and to really fall in love”.

As the years passed, it all seemed to fall apart,
She was hurt most by those she expected to care.

Hiding behind a myst full of smoke and deception,
Soon it all ended in a dark place so full confusion.

Never one to give up, she wished upon a star,
God gave her the strength to discover herself.

Wings of imagination came into her life from afar,
Lifting her higher and further than she thought possible.

Oh, so unexpected, but please take me away with you,
I believe, so now I can love and discover my new world.

She is the one who turned her back so she could grow,
Now, she flies higher and higher than ever before.

So, come with me my wonderful Love Flower,
Come up up and away and so far away.

She is the one who really made it happen,
Believing in faerytales and dreams come true.


A special poem for the woman who lives her dreams,
And is the sweet one I love so much, Nicole Lynn
