Also, inspired by my sister’s cat Iris, who is stalking a moth through the living room right now.

And because I’ve heard that the journey is the most important part. While it is important what you use as a means to an end, the end you’re moving towards is just as important.

This prompt reminded me a little of my Great Grandmother’s house and how I loved listening to her tell me about the different things. Before I could go into that memory too deeply, I walked by my own mother’s room and listened to her talk to some of her younger grandchildren and I know what the poem was going to be about.
I wonder often how it will all turn out. So I must continue on without a doubt.It was almost too quiet, but real life didn’t come with background music.
Can I withstand what will come about? Oh, I shan’t sit with a moment of doubt! My faith is given and trust as well, I know that for some this is a farewell. No, I must face this head on, and know that Going through with my life while still at bat.When you make a decision, for better or worse, it was still yours to make.
Written partially for how my life seems to be going at the moment and partially for Pooky’s prompt: http://pookypoetry.wordpress.com/2014/05/25/poetry-prompt-25-extended-metaphor/

And because this is something that I have seen throughout my life and yet I would not stop meeting new friends because you cannot go through this life alone.

My cat’s name is Usako, which means baby bunny, as she had rather large ears as a kitten would spend most of her time jumping around. As an adult, she likes to roll around in the dry dirt out back and then come in. It’s not always easy to tell when she’s done this as she’s a grey and orange and white cat. (She’s mostly grey.) So, she’s my little ‘dust bunny.’
Best days of my life.Don’t forget walking between classes with friends. Always remember that I learned from the ends, Yet remember that those days are now gone. So keep in mind what you had all along.

School had a lot of interesting phases for me. Elementary school was a time of bullies and learning not to let the other kids get to me while also learning everything else. Middle school was about learning that people might still try to bully you, but that they lacked the imagination of kids in the younger grades (still don’t know why that was), but also learning that everything I learned in elementary school had a lot more to teach me while making me learn to accept that each teacher has a different set of rules. High school taught me that things are going to be hard, some times will be harder than others, but that it’s worth the end goal of being able to walk down that aisle with my friends and throw a cap in the air. (It also didn’t matter which cap you picked up from the floor at the end, because they were all the same, no one wrote their names in them. We were all the same in the end even while the cords on our robes were all so different.)
School was a fun learning experience and I really enjoyed it except for a few times and incidents, but I learned that even those will only last so long. There is always going to be more to life and it will come along at random and inconvenient times and I just have to live with it. Complaining takes too much time and energy, but it also has it’s time and place. I also learned that everyone can take a refresher course when their kids (or their siblings’ kids) need help with their homework.
Sweet Dreams?Take courage now and remember Even should the dreams continue to come, Remember that they cannot follow you where Reality is, for they are not physical. Only you can allow them power over your mind. Remember always that in the end it is you who holds control. So keep in mind when awake at night that you hold the power.
Angels on pillows.Don’t forget one last thing, Reminded I was of everything. Everything is not so easily controlled, At best your dreams you’ll try to stroll. My prayers will be included So my dreams may not be deluded.
