Staying Power

Staying in the game,
May Give power back to your name,
And free you from all blame.

Saying in the game will give you more reading time,
More family time, 
And a chance to understand time.

Staying in the game,
May not give fame to your name,
Yet will keep you from being lame.

Staying in the game will get you more thinking time,
To plan your play time, 
And get you into extra time.

Staying in the game,
Could see your name,
In a book without shame.

Staying in the game will give you more acting time,
Sharing time,
And a chance to Love time.

thank you so much. I have one more Chemotherapy session and some radiotherapy, then hopefully my cancer will be gone. I have had virtually no side effects. I have got my appetite back and am staying active. I am busy in my retirement, at a pace I can handle. Best regards David in NZ
