Audrey Haick Poet Free verse

Fifty and Counting

So you are fifty years old and counting
Your search has begun for the fountain
Perhaps you will find
It is all in the mind 
There may be many new chapters unwritten

So you are half a century old and doubting
You have come to a fork in the road
My one wish for you
Which ever path you choose
That you will not be traveling alone

Cynthia Buhain-Baello March 25, 2014 at 9:34 PM Excellent flow and engaging thought on being 50, a lot of truth and delightful wit, a meaty piece in profound brevity. I enjoyed reading this very much.
