Gershon Wolf Poet Verse

My Vast Fortune

Tasty home-cooked meals
  A heater that works every time
Shoes that ease my neuropathy
  My collection of Mercury dimes 

Glasses that calibrate my vision
  Grown sons who consider my advice
A computer that responds to my touch
  A car I don't have to drive so much 

Faucets that don't run out of water
  A closet of clothes that fit just right
Tulips and daffodils bloom in my garden
  Graceful birds perform pirouettes in flight

A quiet residential street in front of me
  More children playing than cars passing by
Leaves bursting out on tree after tree
  The sun yawning, traverses a pastel sky

Friends sound anxious to get 'out there'
  They've an itch to wander and roam
As for me, I marvel at my vast fortune
  The comforts and blessings of home

Caren Krutsinger May 6, 2020 at 6:17 AM Mercury dimes! I used to have some. Gone now, but it's a "small world after all". Nice one! The real blessings are right here in this poem. Gershon Wolf May 6, 2020 at 2:54 PM My Mercury dimes are right next to my mercury thermometers...
