When You Are Old and Unhurried

The day passes, same routine unhurried While this body spirals of old age snail. Energy movements and fade unworried Point disembarkation, a blithe inhale. Living forever at one time did grace. Life driven dares in adolescent youth Yielded sound as well as negative truth. Learning by challenge mistakes we did face. Surround by garden trim, tall sunflowers Budding, breathless, and infectious spirit. Climbing rose latticework, I rest near it. Eternal sunlight reave through lonely hours. 1/19/2025

Whilst towards the end there are happier hours as described with a poetic talent only you can help us understand - your lovely garden - 'Surround by garden, trim, tall sunflowers.......Climbing Rose latticework, I rest near it. excellent poem, congratulations on a well deserved win Eve dear friend.

How old can one be? Some die young, some die old. It is important to cherish one's memories. Hugs.
