Yesterday, I was 61. I was young and spry, :).

But today, I am 62. I am old and slow, :(.

Wanting for what I was, :(. But having what I am, :).

PONDER


Live each moment well
Love holds each bold spell
Zest knows how to tell

winter sun
 shines on snow drift
 deep footprints
     ~~~
 freezing rain
 upon the sidewalk
 slippery slopes
     ~~~
 frozen ice
 upon the pond
 skating rink
     ~~~

Human foibles,          
Human troubles,
Meandering lane,
Not the same for everyone,
End of the road,
Out of midnight.

Awkward blushes -- sweet qoutings
of words unspoken,
each lightened pause awaits, 61....
Glances shy, as hearts pour a thrill
beneath blue clouds
puppy-eyed as we are.

all together,
clasp 
       hands
round and
           round
dancing,
enjoying
        life
        at pace,
communing
        as one
in this race....
       of life

He went through 
The towns and villages 
Preaching the gospel 
Of the kingdom, 
Setting the captives free.

Maintaining his distance,
Dylan felt safe 

A musical drifter
not born for one place 

His words once released,
to live on their own 

The road calling windward
—far from his home  

(Villanova Pennsylvania: August, 2020)...

earth turned bald.
skyscrapers loom bold.
waste hideously piled.
toxins profusely spilled.
nature cruelly defiled.
we stand greatly appalled!

Triangle of death
    UFOs- maybe reptiles of space ?
    Unexplained powers

    A story well told
    Questionable assumptions
    Who knows the answer ?

Mere thought of you makes me shiver. 
Please say you love me too forever. 
For, my sun began to shine 
when you told me I'm your sunshine.

Time doesn’t turn its wheel the way you want 
It makes its own track ever extant 
You may find or you may not 
It doesn’t digress even if you are distraught.

Would my life be happy
if I had never known 
the quavering ripples I caused
by tossing that first stone

Tranquil waters of a lake,
would never slake my thirst

May my heart be fully committed 
To the Lord my God so committed 
That I am to live by his decrees 
And obey all the things He's endowed upon me 
My life,  my love,  my soul, belongs to Him

The radio announcer lady on 91.9 FM
sounds about thirty-five years old. I wonder
how many hearts she’s broken in her time
and, for that matter, how about you?
Try to count them all up,
Two? Twenty? Two hundred thousand?, then 
give yourself forty lashes,
because it’s all the same....

Today is a great man’s birthday
I wish he were here to know
That not a day goes ever by
That I don’t love him so
He means, not meant, the world to me
He’ll always be close by

So, brother, Matthew, in Heaven you are
Happy Birthday, I say, with teary eyes

Kissing me softly, whispering
Trembling along my spine,
Breathing light upon my spirit,
Shining joy through my mind…
In rays of promise, sun cheers
Even the darkest doubt or fear

Obesity has been growing in the past 20 years
But health officials were shocked by a 1999
Study that revealed that 61% of the population 
 Either overweight or obese
Obesity linked to diabetes
Heart disease
 Hypertension
 Osteoarthritis and cancer
The effects of obesity cost Americans $100 billion per year

I cry but yet my eyes aren't wet
I am old yet I'm well kept
I am sure but yet confused
I laugh but yet I frown
I'm young but I'm over 61
I am  all that I am to be
I am in Gods army
I am old yet I'm well kept
Praising God even after sunset
I am in Gods army
I am  all that I am to be
I am in Gods army
