Life after kids?
I must confess,
I’m in a little distress.
I used to be sure,
But I’m not any more.
Everything made sense,
Straightforward not intense.
Nothing was a puzzle,
Never any trouble.
I knew what my life was about,
Easy with no doubt.
The same routine,
Like a familiar scene.
Why did it have to change,
Now its all strange.
I was simply me,
Oh god I feel like a trainee.
We were a two,
As the years flew,
Our team score,
Changed to four.
Continued through life,
With very little strife.
Past each milestone,
Into future unknown.
Now that future is here,
Really we should cheer.
We have made it this far,
Yet its very bizarre.
I feel out of place,
Lost without trace.
Are we still a pair,
Or am I now spare.
Can we recapture the passion,
Its not too old fashion.
The young have flown the nest,
Quick then, lets get undressed!
