Delightful, Sherry

***** p e r f e c t *****

I really try not to think of the wrinkles, the sagging .... and the slower walk .... but age they tell me is a state of mind. Everybody says our best days are ahead of us, and yet, I wish I still had the days with my Grandma Dolly, because in my life those WERE my best days. A very thought provoking poem sis, thank you so much for sharing.

May the Lord Jesus bless you, and those whom you love, and who love you, and be with you always, and at your side constantly. With much love in my heart, joy to the world, peace on earth, & ((((((((((MANY WONDERFUL SISTERLY HUGGGGSSSS)))))))))), your little sister, Barbie.

I know what you mean Sherry
with this fantastic write
I often ask the same questions
early in my morning, when I pass by
the God Fearing mirror......
How and when Did I ever get so old
Love & peace be with you

YESTERDAY IS GONE AND....WHEN DID IT HAPPEN? THIS IS A GREAT WRITE OF THE ONE NOT REALIZING THAT THEIR BEST DAYS...COULD BE YET AHEAD. SAD. THANKS FOR SHARING AND GOD BLESS. JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS

Too unpleasant a thought to be looked back. Well done Sherry.

Sherry, sometimes it just is what it is,and we do best to go with the flow. It made a great poem,so that's the positive outcome!;-)

Sad remembrance. Bittersweet.

this enlists cries of "me, too!", Sherry! Sometimes, for those of us who are upbeat and seldom ever stop to consider our mortality, that unexpected glimpse in the bathroom mirror can come as a complete bolt out of the blue, even though we "see" ourselves there every day. I love how you set this up, with that image of the workaday, then taking us into "the dreams", the flights of fancy, freedom and fun. This is strongly imaged and the character lives and breathes... I can feel her sigh from here! Lovely work, thank you. xx

It may be a painful write but it is definately one we all feel from time to time as we age. You captured real and true emotions and that is not something to be ashamed of, even for a bright upbeat person such as you Sherry. Well done

Interesting and exemplery of most folks who look back on their lives at where they've come from. Life is a process of continual change and sometimes we are amazed by our own gradual makeover. Good write.

WONDERFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!! Liana Margiva

(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in Tx., Karen Lynn. :D

an extremely effective, smooth capture, Sherry ... i could see it and feel it without any effort at all ... a well written reflection of life as seen through the poet's eye ... btw, i live on Barker Ave., hope i don't go silent ;)
