Interesting topic...well here goes...can't hide who I am forever!!
This is Me!
When I was young I was quiet and shy
didn't say much, but used my eyes!
Now I've reached a more confident stage
which came from experience that's gained with age.
I have my own thoughts,and let people know
but try to be polite,even so.
Not giving away the age, I'd rather not be
I still feel young inside you see.
Found the love of my life and been married some years
facing life's struggles together, knowing each other cares.
Two sons, now left home, sad to see them gone,
-it's known as `Empty Nest Syndrome'
My eldest is autistic, now doing alright,
but when things go wrong for him, I'm ready to fight!
Although he's caused some problems and strife,
I'm so proud of the progress he's made in his life.
My youngest is at Uni, - a really bright spark!
when he left home recently, he took a piece of my heart.
Sometimes we are just son and mother,
other times we are friends, talking to each other.
When things go wrong, I'm easily stressed,
often end up feeling depressed.
Yes, I do have some regrets in my life,
no good dwelling on the past though, try get the future right!
People find me caring, because I listen,
I'm easily touched,tears making eyes glisten.
My true friends are few,but those I can treasure,
They are prepared to support me, not there just for pleasure.
I try to be tidy, but often create clutter,
When the doorbell goes then, "Oh dammit!", I mutter.
I love my snakes and lizards!- some think I'm mad!
But looking after these little creatures help if I'm sad.
I like to look `cool', despite my age
but hope I avoid that `mutton dressed as lamb' stage
Although my thoughts are young, my body feels confused,
with aching joints, with the years they've been used.
Started writing poems a short while ago
to express feelings that I couldn't always show.
Well I could go on .......and on......and on
I've said enough! Let's hear from the next one!
Laughter is better than any medicine the doctor can prescribe.
