When we were 16 we had
the whole world ahead of us.
Where do all the years go ?
My children have all
practically grown up.
Today I stand in the footprints
of my mother's yesterdays,
and tomorrow I will stand
in the footprints of my mother's today's,
but the day after tomorrow,
my anchor will set me free.

I read this just after posting my "Reflections." You said it too, the years just go by too fast and leave you wondering. I enjoyed your writing.

A good work, I like it. I also was touched by "Today I stand in the footprints
of my mother's yesterdays,"
I am curious about the last line, "my anchor will set me free.". I have been given something to think about for a long night. Thank you for for sharing.
