Interest

As my years have tumbled by And I’ve tumbled quite a few Often, I will contemplate What I miss and what I need Yes, the given resonates Family, friends, all those I’ve lost Yet, I speak of something else Once, for granted, now so rare Especially when younger folks I should have the chance to meet Maybe, one of many will See through veils of dated skin Maybe one sees value still Seems that I can always tell Yes, what lifts my spirits so Is simply, plainly, interest

We see things differently as we mature, and your lines show how much we should be aware that time cannot be returned to us to make better use of it. You always write such worthy poetry, Mike.
