Deb M Poet Rhyme

-Dreaded Thoughts

Together since our teens
So many decades together
Keeper of each other’s hearts
Through calm and stormy weather 

We have conquered this life together
And all that came our way
Through all life’s up and downs
By each other’s side we stayed

Now in our senior years
No longer working for the man
Life is at its ultimate
True freedom has just began

As an older person
I view life more preciously
For the first time ever
I’m aware of longevity 

Still so in love 
Blessed and happy with my family
Yet now I get fleeting moments of dread
As a sense of fear randomly visits me

I’m fearful as time goes by
With impending years
This life and those I love so much
Will change and slowly disappear

It’s not a constant thought
Just a few minutes of awful dread
Usually in the dark of night
It rears it’s ugly head

It isn’t a fear of dying
Just a fear of inevitable change
I want this wonderful life I have
To always stay the same

My life appreciation has grown with age
Accompanied by inner peace
I only wish that fearful  thought
Would leave my mind and cease!
