My lovely cup of tea

All alone in my later life just my memories and me Reminiscing about my younger years With a lovely cup of tea. Thinking about loved ones who have been and gone. Time has gone so fast has it really been That long. Days slip into weeks and months slip into Years Laughter in happy times and in sadness there were tears. Thinking about going school and getting my first job They never paid you in pounds notes you worked for a few bob I remember caring for my children when they were ill and sick Now the tables have turned as time has gone by so quick. So here I am thinking how my life used to be Smiling to myself with my lovely cup of tea.

I read your poem as I sip my tea. You certainly nailed the inevitability of aging. Freedom is gone and children take over. Keep a firm grip on that cup of tea.
