No Worries

I’ve never played a hole in one, that doesn’t worry me. I’ve never sailed around the world, its glories for to see. I’m not a self-made millionaire, that doesn’t worry me. I have no need for fancy cars or staying in chic hotels. I have no wish to fly to Mars or mingle with the stars. I have no stately country pile, that doesn’t worry me. Our lives we’ve lived in simple style, together you and me. Some sixty years have come and gone since we walked down the aisle, and now, with nodding age, I see that someday we must part, but that’s not going to worry me. It will simply break my heart.

Poetic expression of simple philosophic thoughts, with an exquisitely poignant ending. Very touching, Peter.
