I look back fondly at my twenties A time between youth and responsibility Moving through the world independently Nobody counting on me Now in my early fifties I am all things to everybody Wife, mother, sister, daughter, friend, employee Never a moment to sit and just be When I'm in my eighties Will I be content, my time completely free? Or will I be alone in my thoughts and my home Wishing, again, somebody needed me?
