Finding A Vision For Life Poem by betty redd

Seeing the change on your face
caused me to pause in the direction
I was searching to complete my plan
to take action for the next course in my life

I thought we were on the same direction
possibly on the same page,
but I was so totally and miserable wrong

You were off to a workers course
in another part of the world
with no thought of leaving me behind

I did not fit into your future plans
nor did my heart merge together with yours
we were now total strangers not due to my wanting this
you were saying goodbye as you walked out the door
and my Finding a vision for life did not fit in with yours.
