How I Feel Today
More than wife, sister, daughter, grandma – I wear many hats!
Close friends have I; on the phone or online we have chats..
Not wealthy, but rich in love and joy am I, and that’s
how I feel today!
I remember in my youth, life was a juicy plum
ready for the taking! I dreamed for my prince to come.
Breathless, I found him. Forsaken, I moved on; life was different from
how I feel today!
Heavier emotions in my later life began.
Not easy– testing positive on a cancer scan.
However, I now can say, I’ve felt so much worse than
how I feel today!
My childhood was lovely though I’ve bid my youth adieu.
What destiny will bring me, I’ll have to see it through,
for I realize all the good and bad has led me to
how I feel today!
