In Response to Your Letter

Posted on August 21, 2014 by Sharon

I’ve read it, reread it, read it again.
What could have been…
So sweet and so sad.
All the stories I could have had.
So determined to go my own way
Then losing myself in the day-to-day
Until at last myself I find
Past 60 and at last in sound mind.
Understanding and wisdom came very late
“Too soon old, too late smart” my dad would state.
Regrets? I’ve had more than a few.
But she waited for you. She waited for you.

About Sharon

Like anyone who lives long enough, I have experienced great loss and survived. I am convinced that my survival depends on my own participation in creating the reality I am living in, and I am determined to be a thoughtful and active participant/creator. These writings are my way of documenting that creation. As the song goes, "I will survive!" I chose the title Staying Vertical because I find that surviving isn't just staying on my feet physically. Keeping my thoughts and emotions on the vertical plane keeps me alive and moving forward. Thanks for joining me!
