Not quite as old as she feels, but not quite as young as she was

Not quite as old as she feels, but not quite as young as she was
Years of pain and struggles showing in her eyes
Her hair is turning gray
Her face is showing age
Her life is changing way too fast

She cherishes her memories of her youth
She curses the time wasted
She cries for her could have, would have, should have thoughts
She remembers why she is so blessed

The fight that once took her down is now a distant and fading pain
The battle goes on in her mind but effects her life less and less
With so much still left to do, she wonders if her energy will last

What wisdom will she pass on
Who will want to listen to her
Has she made an impact on life, or will her story be lost

She believes with all her heart
She prays with all her soul
She hangs on to her dreams

Yesterday is gone and tomorrow comes too fast
Her youth is gone but her spirit is strong
Her heart is full and her mind is slowing

With no regrets only hope for her children
She lives with new dreams
Not for herself
Dreams for her loved ones
Dreams for her girls

Today is here and tomorrow will be gone in a blink of an eye
Her story and strength, Her will to survive, Her loving heart and Her dreams for others
Will live on as long as she is remembered.

God has given her the greatest gift of all his love and the ability to love others with her whole heart.

For all those with youth on your side
Take a good look at the people who surround you
You might be surprised at who will offer you the advice you need.

Believe in God
Believe in Love
Believe in Yourself

Anything is possible
