CELIA'S POEMS

No 364       March 14

Although I’m racked with aches and pains,

Alzheimers isn’t one,

Digging deep into my memories,

Then telling you has been such fun.

When I think of something,

And put it into rhyme,

It’s made me start to realise,

I’ve had a damn good time.

It was not always easy,

And I was often tired,

At 25 I often wished,

That I could be retired.

But things got a little easier,

When my three girls got married,

My son was a little longer,

He would not be hurried.

But however old your kids might be,

They’re always on your mind,

And when they bring you grandchildren,

What happiness you find.

Motherhood’s not easy,

They always need your care,

It’s a job you’ve got forever,

You try always to be there.
