In my old age
I still travel
down memory lane
most days
The smooth ride
back and forth
down that
two-lane road
takes me
at a slow and
deliberate speed
to places
familiar to me
to friends
and places most
welcoming to me
You my friend
are waiting there
with open arms
ready to relive
those precious
moments which
have made us
flaws and all
who we turned
out to be
That’s right
without the desert
and mountains
the oceans of
these memories
we never would
have been made
into the
people we turned
out to be
Today I thrive
in my old age
in remembering
as Roy Rogers
still sings
along with me
Happy trails to you
Until
we meet again
Happy
trails to you
Keep
smiling until then...
