Before The Boat Sails Poem by Carolyn Brunelle

All my days of youth
I gladly devoted to family;
gave it my all, did the best I knew,
just like most women do.

But life's moved on;
things have changed.

A grown Son's moved away
the Granddaughter's in college
even parents are in a better place;
seems it's my turn to have some space.

So the housework and chores are left to wait
while I explore other worlds, and create;
while I paint and write and decorate my soul
before my own boat sails and it's too late.
