Drums of Life


from the ABC set A GRANDPA'S CORNER

We’ve seen the sun rise
on dreams captured in our
youth, of friends who phoned
and “wished us well”
welcomed in their saying---
jobs developed, families raised
children spaced like stars
grown into their own
sights and sounds
stories fulfilled, adventures
completed. And now in older age
to view these life-pictures.

Thank you, Highhat (Pia). As I gain momentum in the journey of my shuffling steps, I realize more and more the magnificence of this glorious world. It is such a worthwhile race. Richard LP
