I obviously started in my mother’s womb
To force myself out screaming and crying
Into this unsuspecting world.
This little bundle of joy who was to achieve what!
I went to school and scraped some exams
That earned me the right to work for forty seven years
During that time I married and had children,
Then married again.
I finished work and relaxed into retirement.
Retirement, probably the busiest time of my life
But worth it when I look back and consider
All the blessings that came to me during my time
So far.
So on I go, still blessed by family and friends.
I wonder what my legacy will be?
I wonder what they will say about me,
When I am no longer in this body,
That originated in my Mother’s womb
So long ago.
