Over the years


I have often wondered


Have I made the right decisions


Truly I don’t know


During the past ten years


Like everyone else


The ride has had its ups and downs


During this time


I had to be both a mother and a father



Fortunately a wonderful woman


Told me


For your son to fly


It had to be


his time - his journey


Just remember each child


Will take wing


                                                         When it’s their time to fly



I am led


to the fence


I see that the grass is greener


On the other side


Will it be different this time



I remember well the path of life


It is to be walked together


Love both emotionally and physically


Must be given equally and freely


Remember


Trust and loyalty have no bounds or limits


For contentment  and warmth


will follow  you forever



I wonder


Will the bell toll again for me
