half way half way there it’s dawned on me I’m pushing a round number far from thirty-three half way to a century mark and just now realizing the adventures I’ll yet embark it’s all in my mind, I know, the feelings that are yet to grow no, no, it’s not all down hill for where would there be then, this thrill? that I’ve still so much to learn so much energy to burn so many thoughts that churn I’m only half the way to where I want to be so understand if you can why I still believe in life’s sweet, sweet mysteries I’m only half way |

"Grow old along with me, the best is yet to be.." We all get there sooner then we wish, but it beats the alternitive. This was an uplifting poem with a great message, Sunshine.  KateBe blessed.. Genuine poetry can communicate before it is understood. |

Thanx for this poem...I am just coming up to 30 and after all these years finally getting it all together, I believe that the most and exciting years are best to come, I finally wake up every morning waiting for my future. Possum |

Beautiful! A quarter of a century must pass, for the writer to understand what and why he writes. |

I agree oh so completely! I think there's is so much to experience on a mature level. Recognizing that maturity is such a great feeling as you realize it about yourself and wish for even more......this is so good Karilea, but I've come to expect that from you..... The poet is like a cocoon; in him the caterpillar of the past finds rest, and from him the butterfly of the future emerges. |

Being born into a generation which history, in its "infinite and efficient wisdom", calls "baby boomers", I can relate to this piece. My thoughts upon reading it are: "Don't worry, be happy." To quote a simple but meaningful phrase. |
