Faint and Fading Wishes

Faint and Fading Wish My soul wish was simple, attainable, when I was twenty but demands of my flesh pushed her away A wish faint and fading I'm ready, my head argued half-heartedly, ten years later, but my heart was not ready to take the plunge in that kind of way. Twenty years later, following a life with no real suffering, I thought I was ready to make my wishes come true and stay. A wish faint and fading My heart rose to the occasion and was on board now, however, life entered in to contradict my wishes in every kind of way.

Thank you Susan. I could have probably said more, but sometimes it just seems like an ending.

So moving - I like how it chronicles the years, and the last two lines captures the pain so well-
