This poem has been written as part of Sahil Patel’s poetry challenge. Thank you, Sahil for the invite.

Today’s prompt is: Write a poem about a thing / work that you want to start in your life from long ago, but you just keep postponing it for later.

Now Or Never

One day, oh yes one day, one day soon
Just how long will I keep saying this,
When will I honour this promise to me
Just when will I admit I have been remiss?

For years I’ve had all good intentions
To take a luxury international ocean cruise,
A dream, a wish, a hope to fulfil
Really what do I have but nothing to loose?

My excuse for year after year
Was that I was a single mother,
Who would look after my children
As I had no significant other?
