The Late Bloomer Baby Boomer - 17 Poem by Richard Wlodarski

The Late Bloomer Baby Boomer - 17

The Late Bloomer Baby Boomer - 17

Life has now begun...again
Lamb has deserted the sheep's herd
The lonely shepherd is old and dying
Lamb is young alive rejuvenating
Wolfe died and her pup has survived
Lamb howls tears of joy overwhelming me
Wolfe had never deserted me...her spirit lives
And Lamb and Wolfe are reunited...in rebirth
The journey to The East has only just begun...
West will meet East...and will become One...again

Days turn into weeks...
And weeks into months...
And months into years...
