Pushing The Odds

Almost eighty-nine and life's still a blast How long will it continue, how long will it last Pushing the odds Testing the gods Will I still be around when one hundred I pass

Jack I hope and pray to see you not pass but be raptured out of here when our Lord comes, which I think is very soon my friend. Your heart and spirit will carry you for many more years. Glad to see you posting and it is always a pleasure to read your witty, funny, and touching poetry and limericks, they are the best... God bless you my friend...

I'm keeping well Jack. Keeping busy fixing things around the house. Dealing with life like we all have to. Enjoying my rough collie Tavi. So glad to see you still writing...

glad you're 'pushing the odds," Jack. I hope to do the same thing...want to live to be 100 like my grandmother and great aunt. An uplifting poem for this evening. Sara PS I bet you live to be 100 as well :-)
