Twists

Many roads, many travels, seeing the world, people and who they are

Some I have met near and some from afar

Sharing stories of life family and our struggles

Avoid the boastful few who seem to be all around

Salt of the earth types those are my people, I have found

Let’s talk of love lost, family and our travels

Before things get difficult and the world unravels

Find that being alone, in a crowded space, is my safe place

Love to see interaction, love to see others embrace

Embrace their world, their people and their being

So enriching to observe those loving and living

Time slips past quickly, take hold of what you can, and never relent or give up

Do what is needed, and forge a existence you can leave behind

A life, friendships and family that will always have you on their mind…

A life that is lost is only one that simply had no one

No one to carry their torch and continue their journey

I want my time to to have gifted others friendship and love, I want none to ever mourn me

Please, my time is not up, yet I want it known, I live for my children and my friends

For that I know my story will never end
