The leaves have fallen from the trees As hope has left my heart The wind of change is blowing quite a breeze And just one tiny part is left of "All the things I'm going to do" And the "You'll be proud of me, someday" The rest I fear Have blown away I'm weak I know I tried to grow - tall as a fir with no though for roots Not for me the "Take things steady" Or doing things the "proper" way I wanted it all I wanted it NOW I wanted it Bloody yesterday Taller and taller the fir tree shoots The classic "He's too big for his boots" Perhaps if I had been an oak Slow but strong - making no demands So big broad and solid Everyone knows where he stands Or maybe even a willow - who bends with every wind Allowing storms to move him whenever they've a mind But An oak tree grows so slowly And willows wallow in ditches with bowed heads "That's not for me" I wanted the quick way to riches So Fast and furious up I went No roots to show but never bent Soon I stood tall and proud Talking nonsense Very loud And of course When the bad weather hit I didn't stand a chance Ended up Down in a ditch Now no one gives me a second glance The winds of change are cruel indeed Bringing failure And despair Why is life so bloody hard Oh, God! It isn't fair Love is like Mumps.....the older you are when you catch it....the worse it feels |

Hey, Loverlost. Life is Ok when you can control that part of it, which is you. Everything else is basically taking are of it selve. Jump in to please and help others. This is a good thing. but know when to jump out too. Again - control, and only you can really control you. Nice write on an emotional subject. The best for the Holidays my fellow poet. poe If nothing is something |

Winds are a whisper of God reminding there's time for change...that's what I think when I feel a breeze..it's finding the change I need to make that's the key. That's just my personal thingy though. just me.....  Love, Terri~  Well I will go down with this ship |
