Footprints

We are entwined with Each other

And soon enough you'll discover

That when it is All over

We follow no law or order


Pray that we still remain friends

When I close my eyes and count to ten

Because I'm not sure that I can

And I'm about done playing pretend


Everything we do leaves a footprint

What we can and can’t resist

Of both we are the culprit

We shall wear it if the shoe fits


As you huff puff, ache and bleed

As you coax, even as you plead

There is a path that will lead

To your every single deed


Be you generous be you Mean

Be you chunky Be you Lean

It shall all remain to be seen

You will reap only where you were keen

Gone By

I give up. Bring it on. Change is good, so take the years gracefully. As you look at that youngthling, wanting what they have, remember that you have loads of stuff they long to have. So for the days that have gone by, let them. You are exactly where you are meant to be. Enjoy it, I have decided to.

There was a time,
I viewed being old as being 23
When the world was mine
And I always wanted to be free

Then came the laugh-lines
And the Sprinkle of cellulite
Where 40 seems prime
And worries don't include your height

A tank-top is now ridiculous
Clanging bangles make you think of a cow
Drinking a soda is you being spontaneous
And painfully strappy heels make you wonder 'How?'

You can now laugh by yourself
And raise a toast to the world
Sometimes even ask for help
Enjoying the woman who was once a girl

So white braids I will gladly give a rest
To pave way to my haircut and arched brows
Ear-ringed boys with muscle showing vests
Bye Bye now, you I have outgrown

For the years that have gone by
And changes that I have fought
For you I shall not cry
I have found what I always sought.

What's Mine

I may not have a dynasty, but what is have is mine

I can make it my fantasy, even if I cannot buy time

I may lose my sanity, and never see a dime

But I will not need charity, it will all be fine


Things will always get better, the sun may not always shine

Nut just be a go-getter, you'll be pleasantly surprised

And you will later see, it's just a matter of time

Because you're building for forever, and Forever's a long time
