I remember I remember the time When i wished I was old To do what I want Don't need to be told I remember the time About half way there Dabbled and played In my world not a care I remember the time When first love was found Couldn't be better Feet don't touch the ground I remember the time I finally hit older True love and my girls A lot on my shoulder I remember the time Forever to be Enough to inscript Mountain's crumble to sea I remember the time 'Cause it rings in my ear I love you, but sorry I'm leaving my dear The thought of loves lies Burns hot like the ember And I try to forget Because it hurts to remember Gumpy How is it that after your heart is ripped out, you feel so much?

I remember all of that as well. Life has its sweet moments ~ as well as the bitter ones. There are times when it is difficult not to become jaded. But then, we are showered with blessings when we least expect it.  I was immersed in every line ~ and feeling it. Giving you a loving, compassionate and understanding hug of love, EA |

I am the leaver. and it hurts just as much, to have to leave what is no longer what it was supposed to be. and it gets better. "too bad ignorance isn't painful" |

I remember: Waiting, Waiting to be in "double digits", Waiting for my period, Waiting to wear a bra, Waiting to go to Junior High and then waiting to go to High School. Waiting for a boyfriend; Waiting for my first job; Waiting for a wedding: Then Waiting for my first child and on and on and on. Now I am Waiting to retire and Waiting to go traveling. Why do we always Wait? "late" |

I think some just don't care, if they really cared, stop and think, they wouldn't have took that step to break the vows they promised in the first place. Some are just off having fun, enjoying the ride...until the crash and burn, then you hear a knock on your door...the one that should have been there at the beginning. ~ARH |

You do have a lot of lovely memories Gumpy and that is a great bonus. The last verse was sad but we do have to accept the good with the bad, lovely poem. Lindsay |

My dear friend, how I can relate to this, going through all the phases of life to be left lonely in the end, the thing is, we uphold our commitments in life and don't follow our heart, lucky we have often good memories to fall back on and goodness in our heart still to share. Have a great day my friend, if you carry love within, there is ample to share. Rick |
