Tuesday 9 March 2010: Down the Road...

I will get old,
but for now I will hold on to life.

Down the Road...
I will retire and sleep in and stay up late,
but for now I will be glad to get to work early so I can get off early.

Down the Road...
I will be a grandma,
but for now I will let my kids live their life.

Down the Road...
I will do what I please,
but for now I will please those around me and enjoy it.

Down the Road...
I will drive a brand new Camaro or a '70 Mach I,
but for now I will drive the life out of my Dodge Stratus.

Down the Road...
I will sell that photograph,
but for now I will blip my heart out.

Down the Road...
I will travel with my hubby,
but for now I will enjoy our jaunts around town.

Down the Road...
I will fill in the blank,
but for now.......................I will be happy!!!!

Down this Road!!!!

3. Down the road you will be exactly like me and love it. That is what life is all about. Work, work, work and then retire and enjoy a very laid back life. Gives you something to look forward to. Can you imagine how boring life would be if you didn't have anything to look forward to and had everything you wanted in life? Until then, enjoy what you have and soon you will be at the end of that road.
   
   I love you

13. Your poem is powerful. It is so meaningful. I read it and looked at your stunning photo and wondered about the process--which one came first. The blipper in me says, "Oh she took the photo first, then wrote the poem." The writer in me says, "Oh she wrote the poem and went looking for a photo that would enhance the words." No matter how you created it, it's wonderful. Thank you for sharing it. Rosie (& Mr. Fun), aka

14. I typically blip first, the photo usually inspires me to write...but sometimes in a rare find, it happens the other way around!
