L Milton Hankins Poet Light Verse

Best Kind of Living

The best kind of living is worry-free
Think a ten-year-old climbing a tree,
Being wherever you're supposed to be
Looking at things you most like to see.

Bill Baker February 22, 2022 at 5:34 PM I agree, Milt. Life got a lot harder as when got farther and farther off the path, I think. Bill L Milton Hankins February 22, 2022 at 5:51 PM So true, Bill. The innocence of childhood gets left behind during our pursuit of the adult life (whatever that means!)

John Lawless February 22, 2022 at 4:36 PM I'll second that Milton...reconnecting with the fine art of "playfulness" L Milton Hankins February 22, 2022 at 5:08 PM Thanks, John. I have always thought it dreadful that we adults seem to laugh less as we grow older. But it seems that is the case!
