Once Upon a Time Tom

Once Upon a Time Tom
Written: by Tom Wright
4/27/2018

Once I was saluted with, Hello Tom,
But somewhere during my calendar, it became Mr. Wright.

Today, though I flounder in winter’s path,
Spring is a drawing force that beckons me back again,
To reminisce things occurring while in its path;

I was then, a sapling that has evolved into near driftwood,
And the twinkle that escaped my eye has become a plea.
In the spring I danced, today, I sit as a curmudgeon,
Re-living spring pleasures;

In eventide my deteriorating body, God has blessed, 
With an astute mind, and though I recall the breezes of spring,
The unfriendly winds of winter always command my attention.
