when i was a young girl
i dreamed of a future
that held many wonders
for a youngster like me
i lived in the moment
but not for a moment
did i think that lonely
would be my destiny
i found middle age
to be less than expected
the day that i met it
youth ran out on me
now that i'm an old woman
much older than wanted
seems strange now don't it
that this is me
when i was a young girl
i dreamed of a future
that held many wonders
that now has me
....wondering
