To the tune of “It Was a Very Good Year”
Words modified and sung by Barb Wrigley at SRLT closing 2/21/10
When I was twenty-one,
It was a very good year.
It was a very good year for finding myself
And conquering my fear.
I found group process enthralling,
And discovered my calling,
When I was twenty-one.
When I was thirty-four,
It was a very good year.
It was a very good year for starting my own firm,
My masters was o’er,
Taught women how to change,
Balance their lives and to soar,
When I was thirty-four.
When I was forty-three,
It was a very good year.
It was a very good year for finding Shalom
And deepening my work.
Facing anger and pain,
And learning to be free,
When I was forty-three.
When I was fifty years old,
It was a difficult year.
It was a difficult year when I was asked to lead
WLW retreats,
And then Helen died,
Had no one’s hand to hold,
When I was fifty years old.
And now I’m fifty-five,
I’m in the prime of my years.
And now I lead with my heart and know I’m enough
to stay in the flow,
and to hear the spirit’s call,
Loving women so dear,
I’ve had some very good years.
