Change of Life
My life has lately taken a divergent path,
age has slowed me down,
I am no longer champing at the bit,
I seek a little calm,
the reading of a psalm.
I no longer seek the promotion of strife,
as I did in earlier life.
I no longer pitch an angry fit,
or cuss like a demon from the pit.
but soak calmly in a warm bath.
There comes a time and an age to calm down.
