A Reflection Upon a Long Life Lived

A Reflection Upon A Long Life Lived So many things in my life have come and gone idle days of fishing and resting in shade Early morn sight of mother deer and newborn fawn so many of the sweet , dear friends made Holidays with grandparents singing happy tunes picnics lakeside in grove of red oak trees Birthday parties cakes , ice cream and balloons disappearing ships sailing upon unknown seas Loves, far too many in my wild younger days beautiful girls waiting for a kiss So awesomely pretty in their hot sexy ways so many more did I foolishly miss Life flowed on like a flooded raging river me with a ship and no winded sails Too often selfish taker instead of loving giver driving hammer without the much needed nails! Robert L. 05-24-2014 Truth in the telling. A wild life, mistakes galore , escapades on far too many shores!
