Yesterday and Today
Yesterday And Today
Miracle Man
5-13-2022
Once I walked proud,
and my speaking was bold.
This morning I sit thinking,
scratching my chin.
“Walking proud” predated,
my years turning gold.
Yet today’s thoughts produce,
a mischievous grin.
As years have accumulated,
my steps have slowed.
Now balance problems require,
the use of a cane.
No longer are days tolerant,
of a scheduled workload.
And from food that tastes good,
I’m being told to abstain.
Never thought I’d view myself,
as just some old man.
I’ve so many ailments,
that I could write a book.
But I know that for my life,
God still has a plan.
Though today I’ve misplaced,
my positive outlook.
