Another Time and Place

I don't know where I am going, Cos I can't remember where I've been I think I'm lost and I'm not sure, Maybe I am in a dream. Everything looks hazy; nothing seems defined. Where's the girl I used to be She has gone and left me behind. Behind where? I don't know. Hidden in the depths of time, Ages and ages ago.

Easy for me to say, but there's a blessing with every age, I'm told.

My girl has done the same to me - more than one time "Where's the girl I used to be She has gone and left me behind."

I've decided to stop looking for her.

Does it matter where you are going? You have had your whole life to prepare for the journey so be confident you are ready for the next adventure! Aloha!

Oh Shirley this poem has really really touched my heart and made me feel sad. That girl is still there Shirley and I bet that girl would have a few stories to tell. Beautiful heartfelt poem sweet lovely Shirley. Debx

Thank you, Deb, I am fortunate to be here at my age. So I am a bit naughty to complain about my lost youth. I hope you have a lovely. Take care. ShirleyX
