Life`s Journey

I am a daughter

new to this world

learning as I grow

finding my way

testing my world

with every step I go

I am a sister

sharing the family

growing up together

companionship 

learning through play

holding onto each other 

I am a wife

my heart full of love

new life to explore

setting up a new home

building a life together

with the man I adore

I am a mother

with a growing family

loving, nurturing each child

home full of squeals and laughter

lives to mould and shape

responsible caring and mild

I am a widow

full of grief , but striving on

with my family a round me

yet, time is a healer

staying for the family

a new future to see

one day a grandmother

matriarch of them all

life will be awesome

spoiling the grandkids

telling them stories

laughter, joy and fun
