The Time of Ages

The Time of Ages

The time of ages
youthful strength to surge and vent
and venture further

The time of ages
mature themes continue on
and venture further

the time of ages
seniors question life or death
and venture further

the time of ages
leave a lasting legacy
to venture further

Multiple Haikus Poetry Contest

At this stage of my life my mind flashbacks to the past
 of my fearless youth and how later years kept in context with all my responsibilities. When my father was alive I should have asked 
him more questions of his life when he arrived from Italy.
 Now I’m more aware of my vunerabilities and I decided to write a journal, draw, paint ( I was an artist ) and write poetry. This will be my final legacy.

You might not have asked your father far more questions than you wanted, but he is your guardian angel, and he approves so lovingly and absolutely with the legacy you are leaving behind Ralph! Hugs, Jennifer.
