Choosing to be thankful for every moment

I Never Got What I Wanted: A Poem

It was Spring, but it was Summer I wanted

The warm days and the great outdoors

It was Summer, but it was Fall I wanted:

The colorful leaves and the cool, dry air.

It was Fall, but it was Winter I wanted

The beautiful snow and the joy of the holiday season

It was Winter, but it was Spring I wanted

The warmth and the blossoming of nature

I was a child, and it was adulthood I wanted

The freedom and the respect

I was 20, but it was 30 I wanted

To be mature and sophisticated

I was middle-aged, but it was 20 I wanted

The youth and the free spirit

I was retired, but it was middle-aged I wanted

The presence of mind without limitations

My life was over, and I never got what I wanted.
