New Life, Old Chains

Bygone days of leisure and pleasure

Right under your very nose is taken.

Or did you not lost it, but let it go?

Keeps you on your toes

Even when you think you’re at your sharpest.

Now it’s time to really set out and life your life.

 

Can you really live without a plan?

Has that plan ever really helped in the past?

As far as I’m concerned, no it hasn’t.

I find that I’m more flexible than I thought.

Not even going to forget the price I paid for this.

So I shall face my future boldly.

 

This poem is dedicated to my mother. It is her birthday today and this kind of describes what I know about her from childhood to adulthood to grandmotherhood.

It was also partially inspired by the Light and Shade Challenge.
