Menopause Poem

I took the journey of menopause
I had to go it alone
my spirit was seeking too
for now it was time to be grown
a journey a mystery a loss of my life
as it was familiar to me
I seemed to have abandoned everything and everyone dear to me
my life was most unusual others homes became my abode
my children ever so dear to me were scattered outside my throne
there were days when I cried and felt empty inside
and I asked God what has happened to me
and then there were days when joy was all I knew as I struggled and lived my life

menopause your timing seemed not the best for advancing the state of my God
however, I've learned on this road that I trod to know a greater God-dess inside
menopause I celebrate you and I honor our simultaneity for you've taught me love as appreciation for myself and others on the journey with me
menopause I applaud you for you've given new definition to my God
now my life is so rich and ever so full indeed
I have more gifts inside to unfold
