As I sit thinking about the past years.
Going out with friends and having a few beers.
Laughing and talking about all our fears.
Even at times we raised our glasses and said our cheers.

What happen to all those times we thought were unending?
It seems we talk and are always intending.
To get together once again but is that just pretending.
Seems everyone always has chores that are never ending.

It seems as if that was so many years ago.
We would sit and laugh till our faces would glow.
Talking about how through the years we would all grow.
But that seems so very long ago.

We sit and talked about each of us finding that special one.
How we all wanted to have a daughter and a son.
We knew what we wanted and how it had to be done.
The family’s we dreamed of having and all the fun.

Down to the perfect house with the little white fences.
We all found just the perfect places.
You would think at times we had lost our senses.
For no one at the time was thinking about all the expenses.

What it would cost to have that family at last.
Having our own homes and having to cut the grass.
We all thought it would be like a big party having a blast.
We were so smart we thought we could do it with class.

But then finally that day did come.
We found that special one and a family we did become.
So much to do, kids to get off to school we felt so numb.
What did we do was we really all that dumb?

Thinking life could always be so perfect.
We did not even realize what to really expect.
Before you know, it seems as if you no longer connect.
What happen to all the love you had and the respect?

Did it just one day fly so far away?
Or did you just loose the love you had for each some way?
For surely all your friends would never even say.
That there love for each had also gone astray.

Now we find ourselves all alone.
Thinking should we just call them up on the phone?
We try our hardest not to let our hearts turn to stone.
As we search for love in the unknown.

Txs I love it!!! it's beautiful!!

ain't it funny the things you think when you have a few beers?

good poem Ms.Txs.

BEERS to YA!!!

Thank you Morena ya too kind


Well actually M those are the things we think about when
we are yound and still learning. But since then I no longer
drink beer my taste on liquor is now either Crown & 7up or its wine. And
of course my way of thinking about life has also changed for now I know
life is not perfect and it takes both to really want the same thing in
life to be able to make things work.

Txs I remember thinking that way so many years ago. Funny thing though
Now I know the expense, the ups and downs, and still I want nothing more
than to have all these things. I guess I'm a glutten for punishment.

No Gryphyn, your not glutton for punishment for now you are older and
know what life is more about it is for the children not the adults when
you have a family that is where your love should be with the family not
what you can buy or were we are gonna party to night. Your love should
stay in the home and not look else were to find that love if it was
there to begin with it will still be there as we get older we know were
our priorties are and we are more careful how we go about our lives with
another. So go for your dreams and enjoy the hell out of
them!!!

Well written, Txs ...and so true. This one hit a cord with me too.

THANK YOU SO MUCH VENUSROSE FOR READING.
