Seems I was just a girl of ten exploring life around the bay I walked the hills without fatigue and rode a cable car each day. Then I was twenty and a Mom though just a child myself it seemed I still thought love was logical and all my future was a dream. At thirty, still delusional though life had pulled me somewhat down my stubborn heart would carry on a soul mate I had surely found. At forty, all alone again believing a new start was mine yet once again love left me out I spent my evenings drinking wine. And now a new decade has come I hate to even say the word the future looks a little bleak though these are good years,I have heard. I find it hard to reconcile gray in my hair and wrinkles too my body slowly moving south I'm unsure the next thing to do. Love seems less likely every day yet in my heart I don't let go of dreams a ten year old once had and hope is all that's left to know. |

Happy Birthday dear Sandra. I love your poem, you surely speak what many of us feel ... at times, but thanks to God the child within never disappears. It's there to remind us that every day is a new beginning, let's look ahead in excitement. James, great reply! Love, Margherita  |

I'm a wee bit older than you, lil sis, but I do understand this poem...a lot of us girls here do! It's good to look back on your life now and then, but don't forget to open the window and look to the future, 'cause the sun is shining on you! Loved this poem from your dear heart, and am so glad to be able to share these moments with you... you're very special... so... Happy Birthday, Sandra and here's wishing you the very best today, and always...  ~Sunny~ Accept these small gifts from my gypsy heart ~~S~~ |

yet in my heart I don't let go of dreams a ten year old once had and hope is all that's left to know. That says it all so well, and yes I know! Happy Birthday dear Sandra~ |

Hello Sandra Your words brought a lump to my throat and the feelings of sadness were so real. I know for sure you have an abundance of inner beauty which you share with us through your words. It is so nice to read your words again and I send my heartfelt wishes across the miles. "A loving heart carries with it, under every parallel of latitude, the warmth and light of the tropics" Take care my friend Love Sue I am in motion |
