I'm how old?
I wonder where time went when I hear adults call me Mum
I wonder where time went when I have to scroll further down the list to find my year of birth
I wonder where time went when my menu selection no longer include the fiery spice I used to enjoy
I wonder where time went......
I wonder where time went when I find myself buying sensible shoes and not the cutest pair in the store
I wonder where time went when I squat to pull weeds in the garden, and then I have to sit first to stand again
I wonder where time went every time I tell a great joke, only to be reminded it was funnier the first time I told it
I wonder......
I wonder where time went when I feel the little kiss and notice that beautiful baby smell of my grandchild
I wonder where time went when I get to school and the teacher refers to me as 'ma'am
I wonder where time went when I get into our practical car, and not one that is so loud it is considered illegal
hmm.......
I feeling good today and things still work
I'm have a beautiful family, great friends, a job, and a home,
I'm satisfied at the end of the day that I have achieved what I have, even though I took the longest possible route to do it
I wonder where all that time went.....
Who cares?

Poetry: Serenity
by Rhonda Gowen
Search for Serenity
Pulse is pounding, eyes are shifting,
Rain is beating, shoes are slogging.
Wander on, never stop,
Park
I stand beneath the canopy
Of massive trees surrounding
A gentle breeze blows through the leaves
A calmness all around me
Pull yourself together,
Tie your own knot,
Remove alien tether,
That makes you burn hot,
Stay serene and cold-blooded,
Look
by Ezra Siske
In the quiet of the night,
By the glow of a pale moon,
I watch her sleep.
Blankets tucked under her chin,
Her face untroubled
Half-Moon Smiles
A Supreme iron hand...
clutches Grandpa's red suspenders,
like a Mother holds onto her baby.
God won't allow
