Destination
By Julie Lacksonen
Where am I going on this earth?
What’s happening next for me?
I’d like to think I have a say
In my own destiny
*
But often life will throw a curve
I wasn’t quite expecting
Which takes me on another path
Outside what I was projecting
*
Like a ship on the horizon
Like a plane up in the sky
I will more than likely find
Where I am going by and by
*
The winds can be tempestuous
The going can be tough
Sometimes when life gets difficult
I want to scream, “ENOUGH”
*
But then a gentle whisp’ring breeze
Will kiss my tears away
And reassure me that I’m strong
To fight another day
*
Where am I going on this earth?
What’s happening next for me?
I’d like to think I have a say
In my own destiny
*
Like a ship on the horizon
Like a plane up in the sky
I will more than likely find
Where I am going by and by

Being retired and working part-time, I often think about what will have me in retirement permanently though. Will I have a say, maybe so. I'm guessing it will be no. I enjoy working and sharing what I know. ❤️😊💕
