A Lady's Dilemma

A lady’s dilemma  

Her mind and body are restless
she is in her late-middle-age 
a difficult time for a woman.
Her long relationship with a well-off man
has made her economically safe
but she is bored
thinks there has to be some more
before she loses her looks 
and disappears into elderliness.
She has grown up with children 
they don´t need her as much as before.
A part of her also likes to be settled
married and have a home of her own
She is also worried about her legacy 
be sure her children 
have something to remember her by.
There is something hectic about her
like time is running out
She might seek solace from her turmoil 
in another man’s arms.
She is in a dangerous time of life
I hope she chooses the right path.
