The Lost years Finding myself in the lost years Between middle age and the grave Winning the race to self-awareness But losing present life’s securities Husbands becoming feeble shadows Grandkids growing stronger Daughters granting themselves authority Sons with families of their own New secrets that will shine like suns In the museum of this heart And old loves that once graced its walls Lost to time and sad neglect I will smile and brave this future And hold those special times inside Hold them close like golden treasures Facing dawn’s determined march
thoughts on middle age...

New Poetry by Sandi Lyn Schraut

the night brings doubts.

Shadow thoughts

With Luck!

reaching the goal but not the contentment

The goal unsought

All I want for Christmas is peace

I miss the glow

The same and yet special!

A Mundane Life

Tonight the chill of winter whispers in quiet breezes

A Waiting Game

I once dreamed

Everyday Reality

The day is drawing to a close <br>The light fading into gloom

Fading Light
