Jim Hendrickson Poet Rhyme

Choices

Youth  has  fled, hair  gone  gray
Friends  and  family  went  away
Enjoy  the  seasons  while  I  may
Stroll  the  city  in  the  day.

Music  &  Art  help  fill  the  time
As  can  books  on  love  and  crime
Parks, the  ocean,  nature  walks  too
Happiness  can  come  from  a  riverfront  view.

Perhaps  I  won't  see  China  or  Rome
But  I  can  visit  friends  at  home
And  talk  of  days  and  other  places
While  I  see  their  smiling  faces.

Darlene De Beaulieu November 6, 2021 at 6:36 AM Hello Jim Hendrickson, the one about the 44 year old was a big shock to the whole family. The parents are still in shock. It was a lovely funeral service. So very sad.. Thank you for reading that poem. Enjoy your day my friend.
