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.

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.

Thanks for posting, made me curious, read some of yours. Liked the line ...I wish I could see the rainbow up close. The one about the 44 year old was powerful.
