My Thoughts

Sometimes I let my mind roam,

Far away from the commotion at home.

To a time without worry and cares,

I bask in the moment, just lingering there.

I'm not a teacher, aunt, or mother,

I'm several pounds thinner and younger.

Still so eager to learn and grow,

I jump into life and just let go.

Way back in time, before life caught me,

Settling my soul, ending my dreams.

I can't explain why I like going there,

I have a good life and people that care.

I don't mind my daily work,

Any child's smile is an immediate perk.

Still, I wonder, what could have been,

If I'd taken a different path back then.
