Change


I've grown up alot
In the last four years
Maybe it's a natural process
When shed so many tears

But I'm not scared anymore
Of life and what it brings
For I've lost and fought hard
For many of things

I'm strong and weak
All at the same time
I find that I'm important now
And like what is mine

My kids I adore
Even tho High maintance
They may be
My job means alot
There I can give back
What was once given me

My opions are important
Simply because they are mine
Tho I love to write
I seldom have time

I guess what I'm tring to
Get at is
I love you more
Then all of this

Beacuse I've grown
I'm not willing to loose
Me again
So we can't play games
And try to controle
With this new begin

Just relax
Love me for
Who I am and am not
For Babe in reality
Thats all that I've got

Zinsser,
I don't know what my opinion is worth, but I feel you are speaking of a trinity of three.
Your child your lover and yourself. The poem is clear enough. We all learn about life as we live it. How we process that knowledge is up to you. Change will continue to be eternal but we will not. So the best path would be to do what good you can while you are here so that the doubtful humanity of the future will benefit. And that apply's to all three.

Zinsser - well written. I believe that at some time or another we finally realize that we are just we. And are happy with it, even though others close to us are not...

I totally understand this and agree.  As we grow and change and find ourselves, at times we have to hang onto that tight to that part of us, when children, spouses, and day to day events come into play.  Especially when we find we love to write...I know I don't ever want to lose that part of myself, which is still so new and interesting.  Oh dear...I'm rambling on here....great write and enjoyed by this reader very much!

I was hanging on your every word
as each one spoke so clearly to me.
It is important to never lose sight
of who and what we are all about.
Like it or lump it, love me or leave me.  

Thank you for this poem of yours.
