Forever Becomes the Past

Forever seemed so long ago
And now it is at the door
Knocking loudly
Making a ruckus
Because I refuse to welcome it home

A child no more
I must accept the facts
My relationships have not been
What I envisioned in my past

Forever is now present
Kicking at the door
If I let it in, like the drifting snow
It will melt into the past
Returning as my children's
Forever
Will they feel satisfied with
Their past?
