As a Teenager All Alone

Looking back over my teenage years socially not together as others are feeling alone keeping my self to self being extrovert was a step too far My main source of enjoyment each week was soccer at my local team being a fan meet up with a few guys there in support shouting on Killie hoping to be no also ran Going to the cinema quite a bit on my own enjoy the big screen sometimes straight from work I'd go got fish supper before home like a teen Never really had any friends didn't go holidays in these days then learnt to drive a motorcar gave me more freedom ever always Looking back now they were difficult times felt real isolated think in this world alone God's hand was upon me though was unseen His purpose to find me my true cornerstone God was in no hurry to draw me He knew all the future all planned out using my experience in teenage years in later years would be my blessed fount (This is written about my memories of my teenage years, My local soccer team Killie was its nickname as its proper name was Kilmarnock. )

Period of Ten-Age is a very difficult phase to go through. I have also experienced dull days but that had built up my foothold strengthening my youth. Nicely penned. Blessing.

Dear Gordon, your teenage years seemed lonely but you did many activities and achieved so much. You were very independent, unlike so many teens. I especially admired your last stanza, for it spoke of the good coming from those years - which is often the case after going through difficult times. Inspiring poetry, my friend. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan

Thanks Susan for your kind and encouraging words, Often I've thought about my early years especially my stammer and its effect but God knows better than any of us what He is doing. Blessings always, Gordon
