Listen to poem:

Maybe Ill Go For a Walk

Maybe I’ll Go For A Walk
David J Walker

Maybe I’ll go 
	For a walk
Old men think such thoughts
	About 
How to spend time on
A cold December morn

Maybe I’ll walk
	In the park
Disembark in a different
form
Same land different 
	Time 
When the park was 
	Mine
And my friends 

No ends to the things
We could do
Even if a blue
Norther came in

Maybe I’ll go 
	For a mile
And maybe a mile more

One mile 
every day
until I need not 
	go away
anymore

Hi David…..lovely poem….enjoyed ! “Walking down the streets of your youth”(in your reply to Milton)…..seems to be part of the process getting older! If we can remember it !! HaS Debx

David, I thoroughly enjoyed this poem. Yes, we older dudes sometimes get unreasonable notions, like walking a mile in bitter cold.

Thanks, Milton. I am guilty of such notions. Often, I seem to be walking down the streets of my youth
