When I'm old

by June   Nov 4, 2006


My life is busy now ,
but what happens in years to come?.
My partner is somewhat obsessive ,
and friends I feel I need some.

The boys are growing fast ,
one day they won't need me.
A life of their own they will have ,
a weekly visit to mum it will be.

I'll be a lonely old lady ,
and still be ugly and fat.
With few friends what shall I do? ,
I'll have to go buy a cat.

To keep my family happy now ,
is the important thing to do.
But getting old is scaring me ,
the image of just a cat to talk to.

    5/5...get out the situation now while you can...find your true love...it is out there somewhere... it is better to be lonely than to be with someone who makes you feel bitter...I have a girlfriend who I love very much but I think our passion and love is dying...

    Here we go again, your not alone with this either. maybe women worry alittle more about the future with the kids gone but don't get me wrong , the men wonder too but try to hide it.

    Your poets heart unfurls itself willingly and lends its words to us to float and drift among our own words. Good work, I enjoyed your poem and look forward to more.
