‘Life Review…’

‘Ah, won’t you sit down, just for a moment or two,
I think we should look at your mid Life review….
I sat down in the chair, wondering how I got here,
and who was this woman, hovering ever so near…
And why has she wings, and that strange funny glow?
There’s something not right, (I’m observant, you know!).

She produced this large file, and opened it slow….
‘Now my dear child…Let us see where we go…
At 13, a Dancer you wanted to play,
part of your dream in the Royal Ballet..
At 15, an artist, with brushes in pots…
and yet strangely enough, you followed it not.

At 17, a Singer’…….well she went on and on,
reviewing my life, and the rights and the wrongs.
The paths I had taken, the turnings I’d missed,
 till pausing a moment, she did ask me this;
‘Have you suffered regrets, as your 50th year,
creeps ever closer, creeps ever near?’

‘Regrets, no I haven’t', I softly replied,
‘cos even the rough times, I got through with pride.
Each difficult step, taught me lessons galore…
the pain and the love, and what yet is in store..
With an angelic smile, she faded, right there, on cue
her words ringing clear, Girl, you’ve Passed your review…..
