I remember when, at ten
I was fast and strong
Softball, Football, Basketball
I couldn’t be beat

Why is now, at this point in my life
All I touch is defeat

I remember when, at twenty
Life was full of fun
And I had plenty!
Spending my days laughing in the sun

Why is it now, at this point in my life
All I see is darkness

I remember when, at thirty
Life was so busy
Children growing, their love showing
Pride and closeness, ever growing

Why is it now, at this point in my life
All I feel is unknowing

I remember when, at forty
Life was good
Firm on my feet, is where I stood
Plans and dreams playing out

Why is now, at this point in my life
All I taste is not sweet, not now

My senses are numb.
Where did I go…I’m lost to myself….

WOW

nice...

thanks everyone. At an emotional crossroads...helps to vent....

it always helps to vent, so lay it on us...

ooooh emotional crossroads ... my favourite kind


For all the upheaval ... for all the uncertainty ... for all of the fear of what comes next and is this all there is ...

in the midst of all that is the seed of rebirth

Let your bright light shine!

Why is now, at this point in my life
All I taste is not sweet, not now

Too much salt in your diet. It takes the sweet taste of living and loving away . . . but seriously though, this is an amazing write.
