It’s a strange thing
The circle of life
Youth and old age are not two entirely different things
They share the same section of the circle
Babies are innocent
Vulnerable
Needy
The elderly have seen much
Their minds are too full to retain all the information they’ve collected
They can no longer do everything on their own
Little ones are squishy with baby fat
The aged are frail and growing weaker
Toddlers can bend and stretch
Foot in their mouth
Seniors need assistance
Walkers and wheelchairs
One’s life is just beginning
The other’s life is almost over
Birth and death
A continuous circle
There cannot be one without the other
And they are not terribly different
They are both the beginning
And they are both
The End

Wow. 100 parts. 100 stories and memories piled into this one little “book”. Yes, Things to Think About is completed. But as this final poem says, it is only the beginning. This was only Part One. Part Two will be titled Long Way Home and will also be 100 parts. This will continue as long as I use Wattpad. Of all my stories, this is by far my favorite and the easiest to write. It’s a way for me to get my feelings out and share my ideas with the world. I could never “end” this. That is why it is only just the start.
