Baja Aha!
In the winter of life
Escape to waters azure
Forget stress and strife
Baja adventure’s a lure
Friends from bygone years
Brothers for sure
Through pain and tears
We helped each other endure
At Big Daddy’s Bungalow
A safe harbor of choice
Reunion bestowed
Old friends do rejoice
A chance to reflect
On paths we have tread
Of the roads behind us
And the few up ahead
With more life behind us
Than we have up ahead
It makes us give thought
And causes slight dread
What will we finally leave
Of substance and grace
When from life we are cleaved?
When we end the race?
The family we grew,
The friends we have made,
The impacts not few
Not the monies we’ve saved
