All In One

All In One Was quiet, wanting to be more Silent was I, didn't open that door Didn't see what was all around me Others were living wild and free Listened and enjoyed the family thing Took care of the husband, house and offspring Keeping all straight but something still missing Time doesn't slow down, time was a ticking Always doing what was taught and told There was more to life, these thoughts grew old Finally letting reality set in Not letting others live my life within Move, speak, dance, let it out Never hold back your soul, SHOUT Did what was right, kept my dignity Did not let others wrongs get the best of me Have the respect from the ones that matter A living book of information, learned and gathered Written by: Debra M.
