Twilight Years 2
by Linda Hillier 26/02/2013

As my life moves into these years
I stop and reflect
my mind takes me back
to places I have been

to the poignant memories

so many places
so many thoughts
each one special
many things form us

when life kicks you in the face
when the weight of the world
seems too much to bear
dust yourself down, move on

take with you instead
the laughter , happiness and even pain
all experiences are good
the fault is how we relate to them

as time now growing short
marches relentessly on
I pause, reflect ,and try
to leave behind the hurts

so much still ahead
many things yet to do
I pause in my thoughts
then push them away,

future beckoning me ever on
