Guest guest Posted September 30, 2002 Report Share Posted September 30, 2002 Tess, You really express my thoughts in this poem. How often I have thought about what could have been and how I feel I¹m a waste. I don¹t often have these thoughts anymore. I can see the good things that have come from RA, such as being able to stay home with my children rather than be a career woman. I¹ll take that love salary any day! Thanks again for another beautiful poem. a > > somtimes i lie on my bed > gazing at the stars > and wondering > why > i am here > > so much > wasted potential... > i could have been... > i should have been... > sigh... > what am i? > > no career > no salary > no retirement plan... > when i die > what will be said? > > soft shoulders many leaned upon > slow to anger undestanding imperfection > generous with whatever i do have > an ability to love truly uncondionally > silly to the nth-degree > hopeful when discouragement abounds > > my career > is living, > my salary > is love, > my retirement plan > is hope... > > i think i'll > sleep > peacefully > tonight > > To all my precious friends.... > > Tess > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
