As she embraces the warmth of the sun, her mind embraces the memories of the past, present, and how the future might be. The past are the memories she holds dearest. Her life would not be what it is today without those experiences and
fun she had. She was a bad girl, but, learned quickly how to "smell" the cops,
underage drinking, illegal drugs and cutting school were some of her favorite actives, but sex was the best and the worst.
This was the worse of the sex. Her life continued.
In the present, she is happily married, has children, and wishes for the "Mothers Little Helper" "What a drag it is getting old" The body aches and pains are said to be normal for mid-life.
Which brings us to the future. She's see's men and women who can't walk, who can't breath, who can't think any longer. She doesn't want to end up like this.
She prays for death prior to the pain and suffering of old age.
very powerful,Beth.
