Moving On Poem by Barry Middleton

Moving On

Rating: 5.0


we do forget the awkwardness
the letting go of childhood

we do forget the years it takes
to call ourselves adult

life is filled with many turns
responsibilities

change is never smooth or easy
we struggle on

we find a way to find our way
until the last journey

till we are old and see the end
and turn the final page

weak and worn we turn away
and quietly leave the stage

Moving On

i wonder what will i do when i sense my departing moment ..i wish i know so i can make it something different. (i won't fight it..i just let go like water flow)

Sad but true. It's difficult to leave one phase of life to move to another but acceptance is the only choice we have. A very insightful write on life n death.
