Life’s last station

Before 

The final destination

Of

A wondrous ride!

Beautiful riding of life to last station of old age bears many circumstantial necessary things. Wealth's there but health's not good, health's good but problem from other ways are there, then smooth riding on life becomes difficult. Very nice practical poem, visionary and philosophical both. Loved always my lovely friend,bl

I do not know Demetrios, I have problems remembering where I last placed my car keys at times, but if I could remember this poem in 40 years, I would be smiling for sure :)

Good! Remember this poem in forty years and then, if you are still smiling, would mean you had a great ride! Thank you my dear friend for your visit! Keep smiling!

Demetrios, you have penned a well written piece. I think the attitude that you have is what makes the ride enjoyable. However, that's my opinion.Thanks for sharing-Alexis

Every opinion counts my, dear Alexis! Yes, among other things attitude is a very important element but there are other factors as well, for instance, health, education, achievements and so on. Thank you for visiting and commenting in such constructive way!

Old age teaches those who are willing to learn! What matters is to love your fellow humans, as our Lord has taught us! Thank you dearest poetess for your loving heart!
