Throughout life         

I see

Many things

As a baby

It is used for taste

Never inside my mouth

Always out

Rough and bumpy

As a toddler

I always drew

It was ugly

And orange

A character of my own

It stayed on

My fridge

As a young child

I played games

With my friends

Always rolled first

Always placed last

When I was

A young teen

I ate without regret

Slice upon slice

Of cheese covered bread

All the toppings

The taste of garlic

Filling my tongue   

Whilst solving a cube

Full of colors

A rainbow

Matching them up

Till they were right

My 21st birthday was a

Great time

I got a new orange ball

The sound it made on the pavement

Dunking it

In the hoop                         

My first time on its back        

Its fur

Rough and scratchy

Like velcro

Its mane and tail

Smooth

Like silk

The noise it makes when it walks

When I am old

I walk

To my favorite place

Stories

It’s full of stories and tales

Wood and paper

I fall

And

I don't wake up

I no longer inhabit

My old home

A big round sphere

Blue and green

Full of beings

Just like me  

I am nothing

No longer there

I used to think

When I was young

I would stay

Forever

Like a never ending line

Going in circles

But now I know

It’s not true

I am out of time

I am gone

For good
