Where am I?
A question that often comes to mind.
I am living here in the twilight of my life
Having lived for so many years,
And as I look back I am grateful,
So grateful for the life I have led.
A life filled with love,
Love of so many types.
A loving mother always there for me,
A wonderful father who instilled a love in me,
A love of music which is forever with me.
He also showed me nature
Walking through those natural highways,
Being at one with our world.
My children are so wonderful
Seeing them born and grow into adults,
Now with their own children,
My grandchildren so special to me.
Then there was her, that wonderful lady
Who came into my life so long ago
And gave us a love that grew every moment,
Forever together, a love that never failed.
Came the day when she was taken,
Taken into a heaven where she waits for me.
So today I ask the question once more,
Where am I?
Yes I am now without my lover
But she is in a good place waiting for me.
I am in a good place
As I have had a wonderful life
And know that my future will be better,
As one day I will be with her
And we will sail together for infinity.
Where am I?
I am in a good place.

- Comment from author about the poem: Just thinking once more. The video is wonderful interpretation of Mozarts Turkish much which is normally played much faster.

A lovley write Gold.
Where am I? Waiting at the bus stop for the No.7 bus! Erm, I not quite got the hang of the theme of the poem. lol. 'I don't mean, where am I right NOW, Orchi' you may reply.
Thank you for allowing me to reply, so very kind of you, people like you are so few allowing me to let my own words flow towards you as arrows in the sky.
Was that reply OK?
Andy
Thanks Gold. lol. Maybe I should have put it as 'note to self' - not 'you may reply', as if putting words in your mouth!
and may you reign in your 'good place' to that last - sweet sip, of a life lived fully and that's all any of us can wish for: truly
Thank you LB, I hope or the same for you as well.

i was in the same place until a few days ago - my wife's waiting results of a PET Scan so fingers crossed. An anxious time.
I do hope everything will be OK Michael, I will be thinking of you both.
