Grabbing Hold

8/16/17



Not going to fold
Grabbing hold
Being bold
Whether hot or cold
Trying to get some gold
While I'm still young, before I'm old
Stories getting told
Items kept or sold
That do or don't have mold

Keeping the gas tank more full than empty
Always been one to eat my veggies
Ready
Staying steady
Around anything deadly
And on either side of the eddy
No time for anything petty
Got to get after plenty
Instead of pennies

Don't have a worry
One too many, vision occasionally blurry
Not yet thirty
Still getting up early
In a hurry
Continuing the journey
Hands often dirty
Earning turkey
Remaining sturdy
