I.

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 six 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.
