I slowly sink into my wooden rocking chair.

Old age is quickly…quietly setting deeply in.

I meditate my life while I am sitting there;


Can we say" it isn’t good," or "isn’t really fair?"

I think not, as” My book of Life” I will begin…

I slowly sink into the wooden rocking chair.


Life is a circle of pain, love and despair

You’ll always get what lies so deep within.

I meditate my life while I am sitting there.


My body isn’t beautiful, but I don’t care.

It takes much time, life’s lessons to begin.

I slowly sink into the wooden rocking chair.


My life has hidden worth, full enough to share

I’ve loved and learned and even suffered sin...

I meditate mylife while I am sitting there.


To love, to laugh to procreate and share

There’s beauty in the peace I feel within

I sink into the wooden rocking chair

I meditate my life while I am sitting there.

I am a Registered Nurse.. I have loved writing for as far back as I can remember. My first writing was experienced by drawing as a child. In 7th grade I wrote a poem about Abraham Lincoln that won an award and was read on the radio in Salt Lake...
