I caught myself wondering, “How long ago?”...thirty years have rolled on by
Since I sat sadly writing a poem and called it, “Where Am I?”
It wasn’t long nor even profound; It definitely was lacking in zeal,
My only purpose then, as now… was with words to express how I feel.
Well I must say that in thirty years it has not been a wasted life.
During those years I met, married and lost… the worlds’ greatest mother and wife!
The near twenty years that we were together may well be the cream of the crop,
We had two fantastic sons and a daughter, then after three, decided to stop!
Boy how they’ve grown, you wouldn’t believe! They’ve hit rough spots along the way…
I can see each one coming through it all and there’s one thing I’m sure they’ll say:
“Where am I?” Yes, that’s it, they’re wondering like I did back then,
WHERE they are, and WHY they are. I’m proud of my girl and young men!
Because when you reach their time of life, it shows wisdom to question it all.
That’s how you grow, yes, that’s the plan, correct answers help your spirit grow tall.
Oh, they won’t uncover all the answers, I know I have many yet to find.
But to ponder those answers when we meet Jesus.. THAT thought almost boggles my mind!
Yes, we’ll do what we can here on earth, and live, and love and grow,
Because now we have that ‘blessed assurance’; we will meet Jesus and know!
No longer then will we ask that question, and sit and wonder why….
My fine children Mark, Tammy and Joe… for now, keep asking “Where Am I?”
