Menopause

Casting over her face
A red patch of life displaced
Change is a thing we should grace
A run to the washroom to cool my face
Fire rose beneath my feet
Those anxious moments, rush calm to my retreat
And yes I will bare these womanly pains 
And it will help remind me from where I came 
No regrets need follow behind 
For this time in my life I will unwind 
   


This poem was written for any women entering the Change!

I got a chuckle out of this one. For all things there is a season. I enjoyed your positive view. Thank you for your contribution to "Tidbits." I concluded the poem if you would like to check out the finished piece. Let me know if you see anything that may need correcting. Keep on writing! Karen

Well, you sure accept the change quite gracefully. Sure wish I had your wonderful attitude. My mood swings seem to be the most difficult to deal with. Good for you dear Laura! Love, Shar
