An empty meaning to my life
my purpose so hard to see
Now that I'm not saving lives
The road isn't laid out in front of me
I find happiness in the mundane
and I know that I'm cared for
but another calling seeks me out
and has me all but running to the door
But first, to tackle my depression
and to make sure it does not return
Going to work when overloaded
is a lesson I have before learned
I know there's purpose domestically
Maybe some of it has to do with pride
I want my kids to again have it all
Wanna be back on top and able to provide

Good aims dear Christina and put into a charmingly honest verse - you will get there on top and stay there with goals so warm and from the heart. Hugs from Fay xxxxx.
Well thank you Fay, I'm nothing if not honest with my poems! I appreciate your warm and kind words that remind me that I'll get there! Hugs back to you! Christina
To every life there is a PURPOSE and to every PURPOSE there is a SEASON ! You are currently very Blessed Chris ! A Loving Husband A Boy & A Girl ~ My Mum tells me they make different demands ~ variety ! A nice home to decorate for Christmas and lots of nice Friends on MPS who all love you ~ Your Faith & Church Family and you live in One of the most Beautiful States in the USA ! You are a qualified Nurse (as I am a qualified Science Lecturer ~ now tenured !) and I believe and pray that one day you will be "Back on the Wards" You are currently very Blessed ! I think of you and pray for you 24/7 AMEN Multiple Brotherly Hugs ~ BRIAN "Contented Man !" Thanks for sharing your Heart & Soul with us ! Don't forget to add another BUNCH of FLOWERS to my FUSION ~ Hugs BRIAN @@@@@@@
Thanks so much Brian! I know that I'm blessed, I do. I am happy to be a stay at home mom most days, but some days I miss the chaos! Thanks for your prayers! Sisterly hugs-Christina
I like your straight forward poem. There are always times in our lives when we question our purpose in life, when we think that there should be more, or maybe something different.
Thank you so much Fred, for the read and the advice! Always appreciated!
I think the top is just waiting for you. Great write
Thanks for your thoughts and the read! I really appreciate it. Thanks for the compliment!
You are such a wonderful person, even at the depress moment, still put your kids' interest on the top.
I will do and have always tried to do. Thanks for your read and reply and I really thank you for your compliment!
Thanks for your reply CHRIS ~ The World of Work is an escape from "The Trivial round the Common Task ! We do have some House Husbands in the UK ~ who stay home and look after the Kids & the House & the Dog etc. but they are much less than 1 in a 100 ! Generally the WIFE has a high powered Job and earns much more than the Husband ! I guess I will always earn marginally more than Angela ~ so when we do get married and if we have a Family ~ it wont be a problem ! Giving up work is one of the many sacrifices Married ladies have to make ~ My Poems are HAIKUS tomorrow so look out for them ~ Hugs in the Spirit ~ BRIAN
Thanks that makes me feel a little bit better! Promise to look for the Haiku. I do appreciate your second reply on my poem though. Means a lot! Hugs in the spirit-Christina
Good write and you will be back on top and then be able to take everything in your stride.
Thanks GF! I appreciate your continued support and good advice!
if you can only just hold on to those personal goals, whatever they might be, you shall, I am absolutely sure, go far ......... Neville
Thank you so much, sir, for taking the time to read my poem. I am stronger than when I wrote this poem and I tend to agree with you. Thanks again.....C
