Life is such a short trip One day your are crawling on the floor Baby steps wandering what is going on Following mummy everywhere Then I leave home for the first time Kindergarten a new place to sleep Meet new friends searching for answers The grass is green The sky is blue Then comes the camping trips to Algonquin Park I like roasting marshmellows and singing by the campfire My first trip to Niagara Falls Watching the water going down and all around Maid of the mist in the middle of it all Marineland Ontario the whales playing As time goes by I have graduated from College I have fallen in love with music But do not realize how hard it is to survive The battle is continiuos There is a time for dreaming There is a time for reality I have been through a war Saw President John F Kennedy Get assassinated in Dallas Watched the landing on the moon Experienced the thrill of the Beatles Bob Dylan and Johnny cash The computer is here People come and people go Decisions have to be made I have attended many funerals Saying good bye is difficult Paying the bills/ being responsable Where does all this come from The formula of life It is a play There is NO dress rehearsal

About this poem:
Decisions have to be made Our destiny is determined by the decisions we make Have you ever second guessed the decision you make? How do we know if we made the right choice? Difficult to answer Blessings and Love always

Very good write, liked the part of Niagra falls. Well structured and presented. My view is that much is predetermined in order for the needed lessons to be undertaken. I do not think it matters if you get it wrong myself. Experiences are all valid and understandable means of growth. There is all the time in infinity to achieve perfection.
ironman says it well...live your life question the decisions, but LIVE IT. carol..."There is all the time in infinity to achieve perfection." sounds like a Buddhist kinda spiritual kinda thing, you are indeed a wise woman.
