Menopause Moment

MENOPAUSE MOMENT It comes on uninvited and it does not make you excited Heart flutters ensue To an almighty hue Of crimson red Lighting up your face and head Next comes the tsunami of sweat Accompanied by an almighty dread Will anyone see the tell-tale signs Will they think I have been on the wine? Doctors scratch their chins and ponder While you garble questions and just wonder Will your brain capsize? Will you stay alive? Beneath the bluster and blunder Which is now your life Thank God your no one’s wife! So, there is no womb prayer Just you, pulling out your hair No soft voice In the middle of the night Telling you it will be alright?

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

Better Looby than Loony! The gods say, "This too shall pass" but they do not care at all about time! Aloha! Rico
