Growing pains....




Remember This

Remember this,
Take love where you find it
     Don’t ask for any tomorrow
       Sometimes there isn’t any.
Don’t ask me what I am
     How could you understand that?
       When you can’t understand what I am not!
All my life I have given everything
     And asked for
        And received not much.
Now that I am older and wiser
     I see it is time to want more,
        A time to give less.
I don’t expect anything free
     But from now on I will pay for what I get…
        Not what I am promised.
So love me now and I’ll love you
     But don’t ask me about tomorrow
        I know that I’ll still love you.
Who knows who will love me…
     I don’t know!
You didn’t know me yesterday
     And tomorrow was today
         Yesterday!

... Think you take the words right out of my mouth, Helen! Such style and sassy attitude - without being too "in your face". There comes a time for all of us, perhaps, to have a turn at the bite of the cherry!! A shock, maybe, though for those around us who have been used to it being more of a one-way street... Classy write with some well-turned phrases here and thought-provoking statements. We all know who we have been, but who knows who we are yet to become?! Up and at 'em! This sings. TY Kate x

Although you came off as haughty and flippant, your poem made sense. I didn't check out your other two poems because I have a policy of not reading more than one poem a day from one person.
