Poem
For all in this old world I've missed this latter half is the sweetest I insist For all I lost I gained the more a family that's precious beyond asking for My step daughter she opens a kindest heart her soul she gives as a work of art her precious daughters new grand-babies to spoil beautiful, genuine with laughter truly joyful Every day I'm living a dream so perfect for me perhaps I'm asleep I always wondered what this would be like here in the latter half of life A glassy lake on independence morn the men frying fish we caught the night before riding my buckskin on Pacific Crest Trail with the family in tow tail to tail Love and sweet adoration fills the air of day gone is the smell of bottle rockets marking when independence came Stars and Stripes our freedom rings in this heart and this life Can you believe...? I finally grew wings Ah the wonder and twists of fate when you think your too old and it's much too late when you wonder if God has turned his back only to find he saved the best for last Even if I had to do it all again lovers lost and the loss of friends painful as it was and sometimes still is it was all worth the happy I'm starting to live Never stop believing your dreams will come true though the search leaves your soul battered and bruised You never know what joy may come though you hum to the beat of a solitary drum not really knowing why something's wrong but knowing when it's right come the dawn
