Aging

When I was only 10 years old, The dreams I had, they seemed quite bold. I thought that I would make a change, But the world turned out to be so strange. When I was of the age of twenty, the possibilities, they seemed aplenty. I moved too soon, very far away, "I missed my family", I was known to say. Things moved real fast, and I turned thirty two, Husband, children, and the debts, they grew. I started thinking this cold weather I hate, So we moved to Florida, the Sunshine State. When I turned 40, I was a real estate broker, started caring about health, no longer a smoker. My children are grown, and I feel so proud, They are the best kids ever, I could shout it out loud. Now I'm a Grandmother, at the age of fifty five, Enjoying every day, just so happy to be alive. The love, the laughter, the work, and the fun, Life is exciting, with much to do before I'm done. -Mary Waldeck
