Baja Aha!

In the winter of life 
Escape to waters azure
Forget stress and strife 
Baja adventure’s a  lure

Friends from bygone years 
Brothers for sure 
Through pain and tears 
We helped each other endure

At Big Daddy’s Bungalow 
A safe harbor of choice
Reunion bestowed 
Old friends do rejoice

A chance to reflect
On paths we have tread
Of the roads behind us 
And the few up ahead

With more life behind us
Than we have up ahead
It makes us give thought 
And causes slight dread 

What will we finally leave
Of substance and grace
When from life we are cleaved?
When we end the race?

The family we grew,
The friends we have made,
The impacts not few
Not the monies we’ve saved
