A Solitary Thought

A solitary thought formed in my mind Way back in nineteen hundred fifty four I laughed as it made things become so clear - Why,I asked, have I not seen it before I let it percolate there in my brain As it generated new trains of thought Paths of tomorrow were clear in my eyes And tactics were formed for battles I fought Now I look back from eighty years of age And I must marvel at what the brain does I think of that single important thought - And I smile as I wonder what it was 12/25/2017

This is a great right. My favorite kind, simple, easy to read, and unique all at the same time.

Enjoyed this, Larry. Regarding that solitary single thought: it would be nice if you could recall it...maybe another poem perhaps? My best regards, Larry. :) john

This is delightful Larry. I have to say that eighty does not seem old to me. Only the body grows old. Congratulations on your wonderful third placement! Aloha, Connie
