Coming Together

So many thoughts run through my mind
When one unravels then who knows what I'll find
Happy thoughts, sad thoughts and all in-between
Somehow those thoughts are never what they seem
Just about the time I have it all figured out
Then here comes a thought full of doubt
Life is simpler when there is only me
But reality closes in and there are really three
For if I wish to share my life again
Then the three of us must find where to begin
Even though my  child is very dear to me
There is a part of me that longs to be free
And one of these days in the not so distant future
My child will be an individual strong and mature
And he will chose a mate or friend to share life with
Then I will find myself with all this love to give
So as we  go along life's path today
We prepare for tomorrow in our own way
Now we find or lives joined together
But tomorrow we will each be part of another pair
So my mind is sometimes very unclear
The road to my future starts right here
And as the tangle of my thoughts
And I throw away all the should's and sort through the could's
I find the answer to who I am
And I become the best person I can!
