The grace of the day
With all bones relaxed
Laying in my recliner
The tv remote in my hand
A cup of coffee next to me
Life couldn’t be finer
No wishes to be in the past
And no future that I’m looking
Just the moment, I’m within
No reason to rewind
or to fast forward
To start over, or to end
I’ve heard ‘ an old fart’ God knows I do
and ‘ old as dust’ with others,
even less kind
I’ve reached that age, that I just smile,
and know it’s waiting
a moment for you in time
But yet, let me not dwell
It’s likely I won’t remember,
anyway
Just smile and grin
As I’m passing gas
And enjoying my day
Everyone expects that my age
Is an excuse for much of
the way I am
And we won’t tell, and let them believe’
That it’s our secret
Just our bit of a scam
So for today, I’ll have the tv blaring
And do it while
I read a book
And pass frustration to the youngens
When I leave the phone,
off the hook
So let time do its work
present itself and give me
what ever I am due
While I lie around in my skivies
Pick up nothing around the house
Be sure to have nothing to review
May you grow older and not old 🌟
