Myself

I am
I am a teenager,
Who sometimes gets in trouble.
I am a daughter,
Who delights her family.
I am a girlfriend,
Who loves her boyfriend.

I see myself
Walking a spacious stage,
Shaking the pudgy professors hand,
As I get my PhD in
Psychology.

I see myself
Flying out to sunny side California,
Swimming in the great salts of the Pacific,
Tanning on the thin grinds of soft sand,
My boyfriend of 7 years lies next to me
As the shimmering suns rays strike our bodies.

I see myself
Standing on a long lost beach,
Staring into the placid eyes of my high school sweetheart.
We gently grasp each others hands,
As we recollect memories,
From the past.
A preacher stands aside
Chanting a lonesome prayer
We get lost in each others eyes,
Wondering what life would be like without if we didn�t each other.
Then the preacher ends in chant
We both say �I do�
And kiss the tender kiss of love,
Like we�ve been doing for years.

I see myself
Flying first class to Ireland,
For my honeymoon with my hubby.
Flying over treetops, salty seas,
And into the powder puff clouds,
To a destination that awaits my arrival.

I see myself
Dressing baby number 5,
Up for her big day at daycare.
She struggles to get her shirt on,
Like a squirrel trying to carry a nut up a tree.
I quickly pull it down,
Over her huge, bald, head.

I see myself
In a big beach house,
Along the salty shores, of the powerful Pacific.
I have become a successful doctor and a known writer,
And an inspiration to others.

I see myself
With a house full of laughter and joy,
The kids are grown-up and back home for the holidays
The grandchildren are also there
They scream and run in the silky sand.
I sit on the patio porch
Holding the newest addition to the family,
Grandchild number 6
As he quietly sleeps in my affectionate arms,
Like a puppy sleeping on its mother.

I see myself
Owning an expensive yacht
Cruising and crashing through the waves
As they dominate the Pacific,
Like a king ruling over his land.

I have seen myself
As a troubling teenager,
Delightful daughter,
Loving girlfriend,
College graduate,
Devoted wife,
Loving mother,
Successful doctor,
A known writer,
And a caring grandmother,
But now as my listless body lays here in my comfy coffin,
I wonder what life is like on earth without me.
I wish I could live life forever,
But oh well I�m not scared
Because my husband of 75 years
Is in his comfy coffin next to mine.
We died in a yacht accident yesterday,
On our way to Isotope Island.
As our dead bodies lie side by side
Our love is endless
That will continue for all eternity.
For we both know we will reunite
In the high heavens above.
