Twenty- Five Years

Fly away, To a place where humanity lays, Where do you think you'll be in 25 years? We cant lie, A part of us is gone when a loved one dies, Where do you think you'll be in 25 years? Winter will be cold, I hope we all have someone to hold, Where do you think you'll be in 25 years? Pain and death has started to obscure The hairs of a young girl are getting fewer, The Doctors say she wont see 25 years. A lasting love was once found, For two young teens in an old town, They are blessed to see 25 years. The point I am trying to make, Is that life is a gift that God can give or take, So where do you think you'll be in 25 years?

Don't know if I will be around in 25 years. I am 58. Yes, life is a gift that we have to make the most of. Nice poem! Things are O.K. in New York. The place is a bit edgy but very exciting. I am a featured reader at the Poetry Forum on October 18th. Peace & Love Matthew Anish
