At one she could talk,
At two she could walk,
At four she had a set best friend


At seven she knew that she could play basketball
Just like the rest of them


At nine she learned the hard way that things don’t stay the same
When her family up and moved to the midwest
A few months before her birthday


At thirteen she realized 
Life comes and goes
So she'll make the best of it before it’s finalized

Stars in the sky

Moments

In her life

Written on the timeline

Scars in the past

Memories 

In her mind

Plotted on the timeline


The author's comments:

It's a timeline of a girl's life that was originally a song of sorts for my guitar :) I'm not sure it really converted into a poem very well, (...) but let me know what you think!
