The Inscription

Finally,

what I wished for, came to pass.

After many decades of a turbulent life, I managed to reach

the gates of old age!


Now,

 
before them I stand,

pondering at the inscription written above the entrance:

"Enter at your own risk!"

Jenish Somadas Date: 3/3/2020 6:23:00 AM lol.. Enter at your own risk.. If you shy to enter, time will push you inside and you may stumble... Great poem..

David Smith Date: 3/3/2020 4:05:00 AM I think ridicule may be one of the risks of growing old. Jesus accepted the ridicule so should we. Old age is a privilege not granted to all. Our eyesight and our hearing may diminish but we get the chance to see and hear things we never saw or heard when we were younger and we can feel things more acutely.

Tom Cunningham Date: 3/2/2020 4:04:00 AM Love it Demetrios, Personally I'd rather not go in, well not just yet. Tom Login to Reply Demetrios Trifiatis Date: 3/2/2020 4:14:00 AM My friend, Tom! A fine comment although the question remains: To enter or not to enter? If we don't, our life here ends and another begins. If we do enter we take the risk! Hahaha! Thank you!
