as i go through the day
walking on my two feet
breathing on my own
as if I accomplished a feat
………………………………………………
i can eat my own food
as i can see the beautiful world
with these middle aged eyes
the lovely view has unfurled
………………………………………….
there would be a time
not so far in future, dear
when all this would be arduous
but please don’t fear
…………………………………………….
now you have it all
revel in the moment
don’t let time slip away
don’t be indolent
