An ode to my future

An ode to my future

Oh my dear future,

Here I come to you

Embracing with a smile

Asking you for peace

Stumbled did I many times

But that’s all in the bygones

I look upon to walk head high

With hope and honest thought

You will hold the pieces

Of goodness that I wish

With it my happy times

And my daughter’s dreams

You will see me calm

Gaining with you wisdom

To keep aging with grace

And behold my trust in self

Future, not just another day

You are my friend to share

All my remaining life

To shine and surrender

Will not bring into you

The garbage I leave behind

I will hold you in esteem

With confidence and truth

One day, I will hold them

My beautiful grandchildren

Will pamper them more

And prune them to be kind

I will stop being to myself wild

Take life slowly as it comes

Want to take things in soft tide

Will put down the smoking fumes

I will give up on few things

That I need not bring into you

The thoughts of vengeance

Rock solid memories of grief

I want to roll over the mat

Laugh with legs up like a child

As I grow old with pepper spray

My thoughts go like kid too

Am sure to wear the favorite skirts

And sit in the beach writing poems

Watching my grandchildren play

And building castles of their dreams

Both my husband and I will go fragile

Yet we will not let our spirits die

We will still rule our world in joy

May be with the walking sticks as toys

Would love to take our retired lives

Amidst the serene green farm house

That I would surely one day build

And have my own dogs and cats around

We will walk slowly but arms in around

Just like we do today too, but smaller steps

Will still pick a stone and throw

In the brooks that will run aside

Age coupled with the present stress

May make my body a reservoir of diseases

Yet, I know for sure, I will have him

Giving me medicines and care on time

I will still smile, keeping all pains away

Will ask for a movie date with popcorn

Love calling myself a sugar factory

Yet, would love to cheat-treat myself

A day will come, soon if not far

When I will put the board with pride

Of my daughter’s career that she makes

And will look for her to come back from work

Will jump in joy, the day she becomes a bride

Ensure that she has the best wedding

A good loving charming husband

And a sweet home to call her future home

Future, honestly, I will be not the same

Without her, my baby, with me around

But I will know for sure, that she is happy

Where ever she is in her life of her own

He and I will do what little things we can

Giving back to us is always a joy and fun

Not sure what I will leave behind in this world

But for sure, some goodness to be cherished

I will sleep in my eternal rest, with no fears

Will not end this life in any undue tears

I had enough of all of them in the frenzy past

I will go to the other world, in sheer happy note!
