Where Did It Go?

Many of us who write to reflect our personal thoughts find that when we reach a "certain age" (!) we begin to examine our lives and try to put those feelings into words....like this.....

Where Did It Go?

I'm not sure when I noticed
This passage of the years
But I know it takes my breath away
So I push back with my tears...

It's not that I'm afraid of death
I believe that there's much more
The end of this existence "now"
Will still leave my soul's core...

Perhaps it's just the wondering
Did I do all that I could
Did I give of what He blessed me with
Was the time I spent "for good"...

Reflecting back on lessons learned
When our time begins to shorten
We should disregard the petty moments
That we've TRIED - that's what's important...

You're absolutely right in this one Pamela. I loved it! The wisdom in your words could only come from someone with a lifetime of experience to draw from. Great job!

I liked this poem very much. I think this piece was well written.
And right on target. Did I mention I am getting up there too.:)

GOD BLESS

Pamela,

When we were young, we had forever, not a care in the world. Now that we've aged (can we say matured?), we have many. Beautifully penned.

(((HUGS))) love and Merry Christmas!, Karla.

One of your very best, Pamela. You have incorporated so much withing the borders of this poem that we can all read, nod our heads, and say she knows what she is talking about. Impressive and bittersweet.
