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?
