Shirley Hawkins Poet Rhyme

Another Time and Place

I don't know where I am going,
Cos I can't remember where I've been
I think I'm lost and I'm not sure,
Maybe I am in a dream.
Everything looks hazy; nothing seems defined.
Where's the girl I used to be
She has gone and left me behind.
Behind where? I don't know.
Hidden in the depths of time,
Ages and ages ago.

Deb M May 22, 2022 at 6:04 AM Oh Shirley this poem has really really touched my heart and made me feel sad. That girl is still there Shirley and I bet that girl would have a few stories to tell. Beautiful heartfelt poem sweet lovely Shirley. Debx Shirley Hawkins May 23, 2022 at 6:09 PM Thank you, Deb, I am fortunate to be here at my age. So I am a bit naughty to complain about my lost youth. I hope you have a lovely. Take care. ShirleyX
