When your offspring flies the nest <br />You have mixed feelings when you rest. <br />The house is quite like a tomb <br />There is an empty feeling in the womb. <br /> <br />There are familiar stirrings inside you <br />Which seem to urge you to do <br />Things which had been put aside <br />While you were busy raising your child <br />Now out of the blue old yearnings are alive <br />And you feel like to strive <br />To work on the same <br />And make a name <br /> <br />It's true the only constant in life is change <br />You must widen your horizon and range <br />You may not be in your prime <br />But now you have the time <br />To work full steam <br />And once again dare to dream..<br /><br />Mamta Agarwal<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/dare-to-dream-6/
