When former routines ended and they had to re-arrange
Certain aspects of their lives, as they were moving on,
The future now was beckoning; the
past was something gone.
Maybe it was marriage, and the
start of a new life,
As one half of a couple, as a
husband or a wife.
Perhaps a new profession, which
involved a great deal new,
Which meant that they had to
concentrate on different things to do.
Perhaps it was an illness or an
accident which caused
A drastic change in lifestyle,
meaning life for some time paused.
The need to care for parents, as
their health began to fail,
Progressing from an active life
to being extremely frail.
Going back to college, and a
student’s life once more
When last time they had studied
was so many years before.
The day the children all left
home, and they at last were free,
To do just what they wanted,
whatever that might be.
So many things within a life can
mark a point where they
Started on a different path from
that the previous day..
