Poem
I’ve been around a lot of years. I guess I’ve seen my better day! I’m retired with few commitments, a “seniors home” is where I stay! My, true love, passed-on, six years ago. A big change in my life! I’ll be living here, until such time, that I rejoin my wife! When I wake-up in the morning, before I leave my bed, I think about, what I’m gonna do, in the day that lies ahead! I say a little prayer, to get me on my way! I exercise, to loosen up. That’s how I start my day! I grab a cup of coffee, as I watch the morning news. I decide what clothes I’m gonna wear, shirt and pants and shoes! I make my bed and straighten up. Run my vacuum cross the floor. Make my place look sorta neat. But, I’m not really sure, what for? I guess it’s something in me! It’s what I have to do! My wife, was a kinda neat-nick, and I suppose that I am too! I jump into the shower, so I can start my day off clean! Take my meds and make some breakfast, that’s my usual routine! I have a second cup of coffee. I head out to meet the day. I’ll face whatever challenge, the good Lord sends my way! I’ll try to make life, a little brighter, each and every day! I’ll bring a smile to someone’s face, by what I do or say! I’m gonna live one day at a time, for as long as I may last! Watch my diet, walk a lot, and forget about the past! With hope and faith and confidence, and a trust in God that’s strong, I can deal successfully, with whatever comes along! God is the one I lean on, in times of stress and strife. I trust that He, is always there, down this road, we know as life! So, that’s where I am at present! How much longer I can’t tell! But, whatever time, I have left, I plan to use it well! Ralph Taylor 01/12/19
