I Got To Reminiscing (Thankful Thursday)

As with my little (attempted) rhyming 'thing' previously (I Am Mum) I do not delude myself that this is a Poem.  So it is what it is :

I Got To Reminiscing

I got to reminiscing
About the girl I used to be
Before it was the four of us
Back when it was 'just me'

Mobile phone on the table
Glass of wine in hand
Girly holidays to the Med
Days passed out on the sand

Getting up early every morning
Deciding what to wear
Trying to be important
In a job that didn't care

Busy Saturdays shopping
Duvet days on Sunday
Just as long as the hangovers gone
By start of work on Monday

Too many hours spent chatting
On the phone to friends
Over-analysing everything
Driving each other round the bend

Yes, I got to reminiscing
About the girl I used to be
When days were passed just gossiping
Over Long Island Ice Teas

Those are happy memories
Of friends and days gone by
And sometimes they come flooding back
With a longing little sigh

But then you look at me and smile
And all that drifts away
When I realise life is pretty perfect
So boys I've got to say

That although sometimes I reminisce
About the girl I used to be
I'm so glad it's now the four of us
And no longer 'just me'

For my husband and my two beautiful boys
