The shell that is me has emptied
The contents that filled it all these years
Time changes all and I am not immune
Part of me that couldn’t live without you
Now lays on the ground next to the hurt

Growing and changing, a new being inside
Learning to know and like myself
After loving only you
New challenges, different goals
Only the shell remains inert

Our future although changing
From what we had always planned
Is still a time of hope for me
You let me know where I fit in with you
By letting my love wither and die

I refuse to stay down and wallow
In a puddle of self-imposed pity
Where I had kept myself
Time for me to move on and say
“Gimme my wings; it’s time for me to fly”



Love one another-let God do the worrying,
Rodney

Fly Rodney Fly!! You've mourned and now your life can begin again. I don't promise it'll be easy but with a spirit such as yours the rewards could be limitless. Bravo hon!

Super thoughts to encourage someone else in this situation.
Yes, change always comes. And often we don't like it.
Good job!
*thanx*
