I never really imagined
it would come,
but here it is.
School started
without shopping and book bags.
My home stays neat all day.
Laundry and cleaning
doesn’t take long for just us two.
My life still revolves
around my family,
but it is enlarging to
include sons and daughters in-law,
and grandchildren,
and reaching back to include ancestors.
My life is extending now
beyond my family
to nurture others’ children at school,
and to encourage friends
with cards and notes.
A new time has arrived,
A time to develop my talents,
A time to also nurture myself.
