Deep in the Heart of a Weekend

Deep in the heart of a weekend No plans, no promise, no pizazz A feeling as if I were robbed of something My youth, to be precise When Saturday night and Sunday found me out and about Ah, but what’s the point of comparing fragrance and fragility I’m happy with my life of sitting and writing and waiting Waiting for my disabilities to return to abilities recover assets, ditch liabilities

I'm hoping you return to your normal self Gershon this is such a reflection on life and what we go through it is never ending hopefully we age gracefully with little pain. Thanks for sharing...

This is very relatable! For me, some things are an impossibility!

Good one Gershon. I am with you on this one. When I was young life was more fun. Now that I am old going out is in doubt.

Hi Gershon, I hear you. The reflections of us elder folk. Weekends we slow down some to pause. Outstanding poetry. Have a blessed Sunday. Shalom :)

Gershon, Very nice hold on reality. The sun has set in the west, not without a certain feeling of loss. Those mortal we, still remember the one living on in youthful abandon. -Richard
