Sally Zaragoza Poet Blank verse

So This Is How It Is

So this is how it is for me
no longer young
and yet not too old
I lived a life
married more than once
Mother to 3 boys and 1 girl
grandma to 1
worked most of my life
struggled with my own self identity
don't have much to show for 
all these years, living but not living
I know to much to pretend
life is going to be good 
I'm looking at
a life of lonliness
I'm looking at a 
life that might not be so good
yet i appreciate the little things
yes i do
it don't take much to make me smile
humility is at my doorstep
at last i'm not too old to 
appreciate what i have to work with
appreciate that i need to give a little more
appreciate that life ain't fair and i'm not that special
so thats how it is for me
