It's A Mid-life Crisis

It's A Mid-life Crisis

You've given all,
your babies are flying free!
Work, home or family needs success has been your goal.

But…when missing those tender touches of loving moments appeared. Your world began to stumble…down that midlife slippery slope.

You've given all you could.
Your babies are flying free
You want that loving touch but settled for riches only busy can bring.
In the middle of your life her eyes flickered with love. That kind of feeling you once had time for and now have been awakened to.

It's a mid-life crisis. Time creating two paths…one is old and one is new.
Love…is strong, it makes you feel alive.
Accustomed…it makes you comfortable and safe.
Remember it's only a mid-life crisis. It may only last a day, a month or maybe for another lifetime.

Touching words, a tale, a truth - set in understanding words yet. hurtful in reading for me, and you - undoubtedly feeling. Can only admire the courage inferred at the finish, the rest more a reminder of what happens only too easily in life.. Hugs. Bravo.

Whoever has been there or is going through it now, will appreciate this. Midlife crisis can hit hard, and knock us around. But, perhaps life just wants to hit us hard enough to get us out of the rut for our own benefit.

Thank you for the review, and yes both men and women face the midlife crisis. Some break free and move onto a different life, others can't break the from their patterns. Every season of our life brings events that shake up ones mind. Sometimes, good sometimes not so good. Thanks again Laz. K for reading and understanding life's changes.

When the children have flown the nest, your job done and it’s just the two of you left. That’s the time the cracks can appear. That!s the time some hard work needs to be put in. Change can be difficult, but it can also be very rewarding. Relatable poem.

I've been single for over 30 years. I set out to write a completely different poem and came up with this. I have come across many men who were going thru...what next syndrome.
This poem came out instead. Thank you for your review and taking the time to read it.

You are welcome Bonnie. Poetry is so subjective.

This is a poem that I set out to write about coming across men and women marriages that are broken yet not over. I don't know how it turned into a poem about cheating. First time I set out to write one type of poem and it turned into something else. My brain must have been on a different planet.
But thanks for the review.
