I used to think how nice 'twould be To have a little time for me. For husband, children, job on call, No time to know myself at all. Lone time then was a rare pleasure Doled to me as if a treasure. But with the years my role has changed, My life has all been rearranged. No center of the universe For one with whom I can converse. I live in single blessedness; Exemption one from IRS. Retired I am from daily drudge, From easy chair I need not budge. I answer to no one but me, Converse in a soliloquy. My cat my only company And she'll not deign to speak to me. I'd gladly give my time alone For the full life that I have known. By Joyce 2/13/02 [This message has been edited by Joyce Johnson (02-13-2002 05:49 PM).] |

For the first time in my life, I am in the same situation as you describe. My cat is my only companion...and today I called her by my previous cat's name..she was quite miffed I could tell. She stalked off in that prideful way she has. Sigh! (I like your poem). |

Joyce~ 'I'd gladly give my time alone For the full life that I have known.' While I do enjoy my alone time ... I would not willingly trade it for the 'full-life' that I know~ *Hugs* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

ah, Joyce, this is lovely and I have no alone time at all! I've been raising children for 32 years. My oldest is 32 and my youngest is 14, with 4 in between...I am very sure that I will relish every minute of it. That is if I live long enough to get any of it! hugs, Ellie A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails. |

Ah dear Ellie, You are to be envied. I had but three. My son is gone but I have my two daughters. And beautiful grands and greats, but I would truly like to be back raising them. Love, Joyce |
