Poem: The World Rolls By

"The World Rolls By"

This year...
I’ve known some changes,
more than I did expect;
much more than I could welcome
-or imagine or predict.

The things I took for granted,
that brought smiles to my face
-and made me feel so warm, secure-
no longer are in place.

Oh, change can be expected,
no longer will I doubt,
or hold on to a fantasy...

(That’s not what life’s about!)

nor look through rosy glasses,
regardless of the hue!
I’ll face the world with open eyes...
accepting what is true.

The world rolls by for others,
as if things are the same...
But do they suffer silently...
as lives are rearranged?

Tears

Tears to scald my eyes
keep coming, uninvited!
Pain to sear my heart-
invading, unexpected!

Words to wound my soul
keep flowing, flowing ever
from the one I’ve loved for always,
faithfully!

Hurt, so deep and dark,
mistrust forever growing,
doubt forever showing,
love-our love- escaping.

My Love-is our love leaving…
as lost as sleep we’re missing,
lying close -not touching-
but tossing sleeplessly?

    Life is a mix of Happy and SAD moments and we experience all of it if we live long enough! Strangely, tho, the sad times often come early in life and things 'even-out ' as we get older!

    :)

    ...THAT'S a cheery thought - yes?? :)
