Rambling

Quote By Poet "Time is a funny thing. It is here, it is gone.
Never to be found again." 

As l get older,
I find the same word has different meanings.
I ask myself,
how can that be?
As a child I played by myself,
I was just rambling around to kill time.
When I started working,
the work day went rambling along.
As a new mom the baby phase,
sure was not rambling anywhere.
Now older and hopefully wiser,
I can see how some words have changed my life.
Now as the years have past by so quickly,
I find myself rambling along from day to day.

Gary Radice February 18, 2024 at 4:14 AM When I first saw the title I thought your poem was going to be about walking but quickly came to realise it was about talking to yourself. I and many others ramble too. It helps the processing of thoughts and emotions and is a healthy thing to do. It can be a form of self support. Loved the poem! Cheers - Gary Paula Goldsmith February 19, 2024 at 9:13 AM Thanks for stopping over/reading. Glad you love my fun "Rambling" write. Yes, I was talking to yourself. Cheers for Monday/this week...  Have a great/fun Day writing away....................

Panagiota Romios February 17, 2024 at 5:14 PM We have more in common than I thought Paula!! I an assuming you had no siblings.. I did not, so I grew up learning to think and fend for myself. I think I was a mini philisopher too. Rambling is not stupidity. I call you a deep thinker who shiness!
