New Journey
I’ve waited my whole life.
To see those magical dreams come true.
Of hiking in the mountains,
Seeing man’s first step on the moon.
Independence, I learned on my own.
Self worth was so important to me.
Learning who I was, a great education.
Where in the world will I be?
Computers had started to become a beginning.
The technology world was awaiting thee.
Off to college I did go.
Only to earn a degree.
Later at a hockey game, which I loved so much.
A stunning man sat beside me.
Understanding the game, we shared similar things.
Three years later we wed, the happiest we would ever be.
The dream of being a mom.
Holding a newborn, five fingers and five toes.
First steps, reading to them.
Even a silly runny nose.
Now they have wings to fly.
Adults with dreams of their own.
Now a new journey , some call empty nest.
I call it new beginnings at home.
