One-line thoughts and daydreams, no other reasons. All cascading one into the other, that age old saying “too much going on”.

Standing here, just standing looking around at surroundings enjoying sounds of nature neighbour’s children’s voices present Thinking, just thinking childhood memories, drawing blanks other times, giving thanks family faces, flash through my memory Friend’s faces remembered childhood pets I miss you friends, always faithful sporting deeds gone forever Wedding feels as if yesterday wedding bells, oh so joyful buying renting, filled with emotions houses lived in, remembered Children growing, leaving home memories not always flowing grandchildren visits, treasured entertainment always present Communication oh so valuable conversations live forever older age such a challenge no preparing for its visits Holding hands, feelings surface touching hugging, both without question feel so proud of achievements love, an often-misused word In this instance said daily whispered, brings a smile standing looking and just thinking onward upward, positive lessons Treating others with respect a sudden memory of one’s teachers some are good, others threatening parents included in this section A voice, brings you out of this thinking darling, cup of tea waiting real life does not wait Why then are we always waiting?

Hi Susan, thank for taking the time, one of our most valuable resources to read and comment on this poem. Its creation, was created during a thinking moment, it is one of those words for a poem that one actually remembers, after day dreaming.
