At the end
Of the
Road
Death awaits
I’m
Told

At the end
Of the
Road
On that I’m not
Totally
Sold

At the end
Of the
Road
If I may be
So
Bold

At the end
Of the
Road
Could lie
A pot of
Gold

Those Golden Years

I never thought
I’d live to
Be
A senior citizen
No, not
Me

I never thought
I’d live to
See
Wiry, grey hairs
All for
Free

I never thought
My limbs would
Be
Gnarly and bent
Like a
Tree

Yet here I am
On bended
Knee
Grateful, alive and kicking
Still to
Be

Word of the Day: Senior

Searching for
The key
Wherever
It might be

Searching for
The key
The thing to
Set me free

Searching for
The key
Why is it
I can’t see

Searching for
The key
Of course
It’s inside me

Everybody Plays The Fool

April 1, 2024sandyjwhite About Life, Words Tags: Fool, Word of the Day 6 Comments

The folly of youth
Is that it thinks
It already has
The answers,
But won’t listen
To anyone who
Actually does

The folly of old age
Is that it has known
The answers
For so long,
It refuses to concede
When they change

Word of the Day: Fool

If there were

Acts of deliberate
Kindness

There
Would be
FEWER
