A question came to mind,
‘What is in your life?’
I thought and pondered.
The love of my life has gone,
Waiting to meet me
When I go to her,
After my journey in this time
Has ended.
So what do I have now?
I have family
Who I love,
And who love me.
I have friends
Who are there for me
As I am for them.
But for me
Just for me I do have three things.
Music will always come first,
It has been there all my life,
And my life without music
Would be non-existent.
Poetry has been with me,
With me for several years.
The idea of not writing,
Not writing every day is an anathema,
An anathema to me.
And then there is the third,
The one that still surprises me.
I enjoy it so much when I play,
When I play croquet.
So looking back on my life,
My long life,
I am happy with what has passed,
I am also happy with what I have,
My life of music, poems and croquet.
