Why am I sitting here watching Trading
Spaces on the Learning Channel?
Next is the Bachelor, Fear Factor then Survivor too
Why am I watching other’s lives instead of living my own.
Why am I questioning all that I think and do?
I find myself searching, searching for meaning. I find myself
questioning all that I am.
Could this be a mid-life crisis? Oh no.
How did I end up in this particular life
I now am living?
What is it that defines just who I am?
Maybe a look, a look inside to see what really drives me.
Maybe a mid-life crisis isn’t all that bad.
Can it be bad to searching for meaning? If it leads me to the answer?
Oh....I need an answer
I find a desire, a desire to dive way
below the surface.
A desire to connect on a deeper level with those in my life.
Where do I find the courage to open up and reveal the true me?
How do I get in touch with the other side?
Oh, I think my questions are pointing to something. Something or
someone. Could it be you? Could it be you?
In a mid-life crisis often we exchange
the old for the new.
I could get a new car, a new job, or even a new husband too.
But somehow, I don’t think these can be the answers I am seeking.
The newness I need is a renewal in my search for you.
The unsettledness is just a start. My mid-life crisis can motivate and
refresh my stagnant heart.
Oh...refresh my stagnant heart.
Oh...a renewed search for you
If that’s the result of a midlife crisis....then Give me
one.............every day.
