L Milton Hankins Poet Light Verse

Longevity

Have I been given longevity for a special reason?
Is there something this old man still must do?
 
          Or, am I the product of good ancestry and genes?
          When I discover the answer, I’ll share it with you.

Bryan Norton January 24, 2022 at 7:18 PM Well, both things are true. I think. Food for thought, and best of luck with your special reason(s), of which poetry is a big one, for sure! L Milton Hankins January 24, 2022 at 7:56 PM Well, I would love to accomplish something meaningful and leave a legacy of writing that is worth preservation. That would be nice, Bryan. Thanks!
