It
pleases me to report that
thus
far, I am able to deal with
the
pain which comes part and
parcel
with old age.
I’ve
fallen only once a couple
of
months ago, and was still able
to
get up on my own.
Blessed
I suppose to have escaped
with
only a bruise and no broken
or
disjointed bones.
It
will not make the 6 o’clock
local
or national news, but I’m
still
titillated each morning by
the
Muse which enables me to
continue
writing my thoughts
creatively
each day.
The
sun still shines; the moon
still
glows; I can still flex and
count
ten fingers, ten toes.
I
have few expectations of
others
and myself. I am
content
and at peace with the
quiet
I’m able to appreciate.
Behind
me lies the road
I
have paved. Ahead a
dead
end—no heaven to
glorify,
no hell to excoriate.
Suis-moi je te suivrai.
