*none*A Poem by Grandma Auntie
It was ridiculous to think
That life would have followed my plan.
So far this journey has transformed
Into a true comedy of errors.
Childhood was a joke and filled not with
Joy and laughter, but pain and suffering.
Moving out of home into a college dorm
Opened my eyes to how big the world was.
Life in college was busy but fulfilling.
Serving the country, even part time,
Allowed me to travel and meet some great
People along the awesome expedition.
Thinking I’d wait for marriage
While I got to know the man was a good plan,
Until the matrimony ended because of his addictions,
Something that never sat well with me.
Now I sit, financially devastated from divorce
As well as an accident never fully recovered from.
To build your way up in the world
Only to be shot down is truly traumatic.
To have it all or what I considered all,
Back to having nothing is not where I want to be.
This turn of events has just left me
With bundles of questions and, yet, not one answer.
Rebuilding has come way too slowly.
Friends have come and gone, leaving me
Wondering what I’ve done to deserve being
Left to forge a new path alone.
On me I will focus, try to leave behind
The pain, hurt, and anguishes as I look
Forward into the future as well as stop
Worrying about others that have burdened my quest.
