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.

You are so right, they need to find dreams of their own and it is a chance for you to recapture your own dreams, the ones you never had the chance to complete before. Much love , Vie

I enjoyed your verse, Catherine, I am of "empty nest" age, but I still have 2 daughters in their 20's living at home...I ask myself where did I go wrong. JOhn
