2005 - New Year’s Eve
No longer a daughter, nor a wife
I live a solitary life
But still a mother, sister, friend
And who knows what’s around the bend
Traveler, poet, movie buff
I wouldn’t say my life is rough
Seeking knowledge here and there
Spirit takes me everywhere
No money saved at fifty-eight
Working hard and overweight
But I’ve my movie times and rhyme
White shores to walk, red rocks to climb
And pictures, tapes, old records books
The family videos I took
To keep my loved ones always near
I guess I’ll try another year.
