This time of life
highlights the balance of my age;
my past takes up more space than my future
has left- and so be it.
My life is fulfilled by family- dear husband,
three new generations- and I'm the matriarch
to whom they come- I keep the fire
burning bright for them- our past, present, and beyond.
Creative arts-
poetry and painting shaped me.
Yet, my strong business flair hewed fine work skills-
fulfilling retirement.
I am learning to let go, slow down, and enjoy
things as they are- no more tears or mournfulness for
the sad times that darkened my days-
because I've been blessed far past my expectations.
