Poem Title:
Poem
Fragile weak and feeble Body aching with pain from head to toe Barely remembering my name half the time Never knowing when it’s my time to “go” Unable to fully care for myself The simplest tasks seem so far out of reach Feeding, grooming and bathing on my own Appear to have become obsolete Hitting my golden retirement years Many plans and much traveling to do Working a life-time in the business world Hopes and dreams I now have time to pursue My family is finally complete now My oldest still attending high-school Financially stable and secure at last Providing my children with independent tools Struggling feverishly on a daily basis Just trying to make ends meet Beginning a new career and family Never having a moment to take a seat Finished with college and searching For a soul mate until the end of time That one special person in the universe As we’re well within our prime Immature and co-dependent Still holding on tightly to mom and dad Caring about nothing than friends and partying And how many things you can actually do bad Hitting puberty and awkward An emotional basket case at best Making your new friends in Jr. High Hoping that time will fill in the rest Sweet innocent and perky Bursting with unbelievable energy galore Running ramped through your childhood Never realizing there would be so much more A beautiful child is born today Perfect complexion body and face One happy perfect baby The entire world at your fingertips to embrace Unable to care alone for itself Very tiny fragile and weak Tasks as feeding and bathing Are tasks that are to become so bleak Barely remembering its name half the time Its body aching from head to toe So you see birth and death are quite similar Strolling through life’s many difficult plateaus
