Menopause

Menopause

I was shivering of a fever and feeling so cold

I went to the balcony seeking air fresh and mold

I saw a little girl playing and remembered years ago

When I was at her same age wandering and going so

I realized I am old now and facing old age crisis

No use of looking back and I have to start exercises

To be able to resist and bear more of this life

Because I am not only a mother but also a wife

My husband and kids did not come yet

I finished tiding and dusting, now I sit

I felt nervous, cold, sweating and so wet

I tried to relax, sleeping and having rest

I fell into a nap awaken by a tender kiss

Saying it is your birth day & we can't miss

I was surrounded with them, holding chocolate cake

We spend all day thinking of a surprise to make

Your birthday wonderful as you always did

I hugged them find no words to be said

I looked at him standing with a rose in his hand

Smiling and saying with you everything could be mend

My daughter and son hugged and kissed me tenderly

Spent night with me, but gone to their homes quickly

He kissed me in forehead and hugged me so tightly

I felt safe and told him 'I am suffering of menopause'

Looked at my eyes saying' this is how life goes'

I said ' I am a woman of 47 years old'

He said ' you still my princess as I told'

I rest on his chest thinking not of what to come

It is our life together and it is not a math sum

He is the man I wanted and loved so long

Now I deserve to live with him a love song

The song of our hearts' beatings together

After 30 years, I see him as my mirror

I married him at 17 years old girl

He is my shell and I am his pearl
