The Future

For fourteen years, I’ve had such fun,

Telling tales of life: homespun,

I’d talk of growing up and stuff,

Of doings planned, or ‘off the cuff’,

Of mischief made and laughter wrought,

Some lessons learned, successes sought,

A little fact with fiction mixed,

With lots to entertain betwixt,

I love to write, you know I do,

But now’s the time to say, “Adieu.”

New challenges for me to face,

(I pray I’ll do all this with grace!)

What I’ll miss most is all of you,

Will I be back? I’ve not a clue…

But know as I walk these new trails,

And try to keep on telling tales,

That in my thoughts, you all will be,

I’ll hold your mem’ry close to me…

The future beckons. It’s so bright,

(Soon everything will be just right,)

So know as now my blog I close,

I’ll still be writing poems and prose.

I dedicate it all to you,

And leave my love and prayers, too!

My good friends, Charlotte and Mimi,

Will ‘Poem’ on, but without me,

Cause that’s what Monday is about,

I can’t conceive a week without!

Cause Mondays do get knocked a lot,
With poetry, we all besought
To try to make the week begin
With gentle thoughts,
Perhaps a grin?
So Karen, Charlotte, Mimi, me
Have crafted poems for you to see.
And now you’ve read what we have wrought…
Did we help?
Or did we not?

This post today will be my last,

The Future surely got here fast!

But two of us will carry on

I pass, to them, the 'poem' baton!

Thinking of joining up for Poetry Monday?

Charlotte and Mimi would love to welcome you!

The Future (January 1. My last Poetry Monday) Today!
