Growing up

Seemed to me

The perfect life

Yet to be

Behind closed doors

Not what you think

But still I turned out

In the pink

Married, moved

Had kids too

And my life was perfect

Yes, it's true

Kids grew up

And moved on their own

Things sure Changed

Time had flown

I was fine

Needed a rest

But somewhere I

Lost  some zest

Everyone told me

Empty nest would appear

I said nah

And couldn't hear

But some days are good

And others quite low

I feel empty nest

And move quite slow

I'll adjust

As each day goes by

Empty nest

Is the reason why

Don't rush your kids

Enjoy each day

For soon they'll be gone

And on their way
