That Comfort Zone

Age does not define us, But our choices surely do. How I live my life may not At all appeal to you. We have to find that comfort zone Between our younger verve And, in our later years, that well Of vigor in reserve. Some people choose to stay at home, Quite happy to embrace The extra time to just relax, Not going anyplace. While others, with the end in sight, Have trips they rush to plan, Locations where they’ve never been, To travel while they can. There is no right or wrong in this; All people must decide If they’re ready to step off the train Or stay on for the ride.
