The Butterfly

Goodbye Yesterday…

My morning awaits me.

Your kisses are so sweet,

I will long for the comfort of my cradle.



Goodbye Yesterday…

In your loving arms, I wish to stay.

But every little girl becomes a woman

And every woman must face her dawn.



So Goodbye Yesterday…

I am moving on, come what may.

Stepping out to embrace my new day,

And make the most of life all the way!



And this is it!!! Your gems I will keep within.

But for the rest, with all my gratitude-

Goodbye…Ciao…Sayonara.

Paalam aking kahapon.*


Author's Notes/Comments: 

(*Goodbye my yesterday)

Does welcoming adulthood mean that I have to let go of my childhood? No matter what I do, I know and I feel that I will always be a child-at-heart. At the age of 24, I may have more needs, roles and responsibilities...and I am accepting that. But somehow, I feel that I need to let go of some things such as... my childhood fear of change. ~© jerlin 5 Dec 04
