Tall statuesque Palm trees line the driveway; suggestive of grace, dignity and ever so stately.
Basking in the sun and swaying with the light tradewinds they adorn the forefront of the sky as if a picture awaiting a frame.
Shading my eyes from the sun I peer upwards..upwards.... to be amazed at the height of these guards of the driveway standing at attention.
I wonder how small I must have seemed to them...if they only had eyes.
Beckoning me to enter, I slowly walk towards the entrance of this vast property. I am sure that they are still watching me long and hard as I pass underneath them to continue on my journey.
Gasp! A wonderful array of colors! I stop to admire and take in the glorious scene that is right in front of me.
I stop to 'smell' the flowers.
Ah, but the simple things in life that I would have missed in my youth of years long past. Impatience and impulsiveness were rulers of this former unsettled soul.
I gaze once more to capture this miracle of 'life' before continuuing on my journey once again.
I stand tall with no regrets. I stop to smell the flowers and keep walking.
I travel through the gates of risk and keep moving along this road.
Continuuing on this journey of my ever changing .......LIFE.
