Phew!

CARRY ON TUESDAY

http://carryontuesdayprompt.blogspot.com.au/
We are asked to use the final sentence of 'Gone With the Wind'
'After all, tomorrow is another day'.

PHEW!

After all, and I can vouch for this myself,

Tomorrow is another  brand new day.

And I will face it gladly, with a smile,

For 'Carry On', it seems, is here to stay.

Last week I felt down-hearted and depressed;

That weekly stimulation had now gone;

Life had lost it's lustre in a trice

And I, put simply, couldn't 'carry on'.

But lo! The sun was just behind a cloud!

It now has sailed into the azure blue!

I vow I'll visit everyone who writes!

I'm born again! (And all of this is true.)

UNTITLED

They stick their labels on me, indicating parts quite vital,

But what I'm really after, isn't labels, it's a title!

My cuboid bone's unchanging, it always keeps its name;

I'd really be much happier if my titles stayed the same.

My collarbone and sternum  have been labelled such through life,

While my titles have been 'Baby', 'Sweetheart', 'Teacher', 'Mother', 'Wife'.

Sometimes I've been called 'Actor' and 'Poet' has been used,

And there's been 'Stupid', there's been 'Fool' when I have been abused.

Recently I've heard  'Senior' and 'Pensioner's another,

And then there's the title I quite like; the title of 'Grandmother'.

So is it any wonder that I'm really in a jam.

Till I get a permanent title I don't know who I am!

Oh dear! I've suddenly realised I haven't been too clever!

When I get the title 'Ancestor' I'll keep that one for ever!
