Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

Live For Today My Friend

live for today my friend
arthritis in both ankles
has changed my life

do all the thing you dream of doing
before your body fails you
because it might

money should not stop you
you can pay it back bit by bit
as you sit in a nursing home, remembering ….

David Kavanagh April 4, 2021 at 1:15 PM Why on earth, do people scrimp, save and suffer only to leave it all behind, get out there and enjoy your hard earned cash, and get that arthritis under control, great writing Caren, cheers David Caren Krutsinger April 4, 2021 at 2:16 PM Thank you David

Ilene Bauer April 4, 2021 at 12:22 PM this advice sounds so obvious, caren, but for some reason, so few actually follow it! well said... Caren Krutsinger April 4, 2021 at 2:16 PM I know that is right.

L Milton Hankins April 4, 2021 at 10:37 AM Ah, so true. I truly believe that we should "die broke!" This ol' man is planning a tour of South America next January (COVID permitting) if I'm still alive and kickin'. I'm going to travel with someone who will bring my ashes back home if I don't make it! Caren Krutsinger April 4, 2021 at 2:17 PM I love your optimism!
