“In the end, it’s not the years in your life that count. It’s the life in your years.” – Abraham Lincoln
"A good decision is based on knowledge and not on numbers." - Plato
----- A Jinjagoliath poem: 24th December 2023 -----
Foot on the gas No time to slow down Paddling harder Not wanting to drown Reaching for oxygen Atmosphere's thinner Still in the race Eat the dust of the winner Adventure not waining For some skiing off piste Soulful confessions? Time to contact a priest There's life in the old dog Though the snow on the roof Offers no clue To the internal youth Life can't be frantic Should be leisured, not hurried We're meant to be rested Not hastened or worried So whatever the day brings It's a gift to be treasured Your age is just numbers Not how life should be measured
