Learning Time

Wonder, wander, list and lust
   to learn anew until you bust.
Read, search, question and look
   for paths you thought you never took.

A world awaits, new kingdoms come.
New skies, new roads, puzzles done.
Machines man made, a technocrat
   to realize some oft-quoted stat.

Never too old, and not too late
   to learn and learn for learning's sake.
So open heart and open mind
   Seek on. Seek out. It's learning time.

Words so true, to learn is to live and more that's learned a life that's bright. I am going to follow my fellow. I have always continued adventures and at 63 feel young as I did at 40 (dr says my vitals are there too) Take care and good poem
