The pain in my neck
The fatigue
I need a break

I keep on going
Never slowing
I keep it flowing

I need to slow
But I don’t know how
I go and I go

I sweat
From all the chocolate I ate
Another symptom I bet

I can’t sleep
My cough gets me up
When I sleep deep

I want to retire and write
Even in the middle of the night
It would be a sheer delight!!!!!!
I can’t wait for retirement so I can spend more time writing poetry! Sad to wish ones life away at 62!  Five years to retirement !!!!!!!
The morning light after the dark long night
And the fresh morning air blowing in my hair
Is a beautiful feeling
The pleasure I’m stealing
Up with the lark
And down to the park
Birds singing their hearts out
Such beauty without a doubt
A good start to the day
Better weather on its way
As the sun shines down on me
It’s beautiful to see
The flowers coming out
nature so devout
It’s another beautiful day
And it’s now nearly May!
When I am gone from this world
Remember me as a poet
I know I’ll be whirled
Into space as we know it!

Please don’t be sad
I’ve enjoyed the life that I’ve had!

If there comes a time
that you might lose me
Find me in my poetry
People have died and are still dying
Of covid we're crying
But people are still dying of cancer
well there is no answer
It’s sad but true
No matter what we do
We’re not immortal
Sadly eventually we all have to go to the portal!
The portal of mortality!
When the day meets the night
And the sun greets the moon
Something magical happens...
It’s over too soon
A moment of silence
A colorful sky
The sun closes eyes and says its goodbyes
The moon takes over and
watches the birth
of another beautiful nightfall falling over this earth!
Wow
Isn’t it a wonderful world ?
