Starting Over

I think I remember a time 

when life wasn't quite so complicated;

but I'm not really sure.

It's all been such a blur.

I've passed so many milestones:

school, kids, family, 

and yet it feels like I'm starting over.

And, in many ways, I am.

I have so many things I want to do,

NEED to do yet;

but, so often, what I want,

what I need,

doesn't come first.

But as the children grow

I am slowly, patiently

gaining more time for me.

Now, the complication isn't

IF I can follow my dreams

but WHICH dream to follow first.
