Young, not knowing life,

wondering, trying,
experimenting that first kiss.

Knowing, wanting,
then to feel their miss.

All that we shared,
just to show we cared.

Twenty now and thinking a wife,
finding one who held my strife.

Married, made our babies,
all our love, with no maybe's.

Grown now into their own
mom's and dad's,,

Us fallen short on
the world we once
lived to see.

Breaking apart,
losing our heart.

Another year past
the last,

Time has whinkled
what once was so smooth.

Breakfast, or dinner,
only me to choose.

This stage of life,
past-tence wife.
Grandkids being made.
Generations,
unfolding in play.

hair of grey,
eyes looking past,
still with dreams,
with only one shadow,
to cast.

From unaware,
to dependible underware,
to having Nothing,
unable to share.

passing gas, in a crowd,
Or mumbling to yourself
out-laud...

Creeking as you sit,
on your toilet seat,
looking down,
at your swollen feet.

This is living,
as time, has no forgiving.

Nice to meet you,
I say looking in my mirror,
asking for some dinner,
As the nurse tells me,
its time for breakfast.

Living to just be,
that all, that everything,
that once was me.

Great chronology of capturing a life in motion....
"Dust in the wind, all we are is dust in the wind"....

"...I close my eyes, only for a moment and the moments gone..All my dreams, pass before my eyes with curiosity..."..Love that song up2us, very apt to your write iam4u..

Here you go.....

Haha...been there done that months ago...

Well, when it's good you can never do it enough......

To be born,,,then torn,,

then reborn, to worn,

returning to that in which we came.

Ending this life, we live so lame.

Nothing forgotten,nothing to mis-place.

All of it showing, within the lines upon our face.

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust,

Birth was fantastic, but dying is a must!
