I

made myself
as I am today
all the mistakes
made on the way
were mine
and the triumphs too
though those in comparison
have been few
sometimes happy
often sad
not always good
never really bad
memories to
remember or forget
the best thing is
life’s not done with me yet

We are being molded and shaped by our experiences and choices all our lives. You have a lot to experience yet, Rose.

She certainly does Eunice, but I was saving it ......

Life is the biggest adventrue and you capture that perfectly here.
(Not sure what Steve has in mind for you - but I am sure you will enjoy it!)

Well you only live once so enjoy it and do whatever you can with what you have got Another good one Rose

Well what do I have in store for Rose? Jo!

Maybe time to mention we are getting married on 8th October
So "I" will become "We"

Thank you all for your comments!

and you were all so right about experiences still to come ...as Steve has just explained

Rose,
Like the others, I am sure life has lots in store for you. And let me the first to congratulate you and Steve on your upcopming wedding -- imagine 2 of "our own" getting married to each other!
Your friend,
David Fox

Of course, SOMETIMES life not being through with you yet, just means it's about ready to kick you down a few MORE flights of stairs.....Yet, your poem (and your life, actually!) contradicts my silly cynicism, so all my congratulations to you and Steve as you start to head right back UP those stairs (whoops, a LITTLE cynicism peeked through....pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!)
