No Time

FredPeyer

I don’t have time to think about getting old

nor listen to old age stories I am told

no time to worry what the future brings

about problems, troubles and other things

I would rather use all of my strength

to keep these problems at arm’s length

what I need to do and care about

the most important thing no doubt

is to use my remaining time

to go out on a limb and climb

the highest mountain I can find

even if it exists only in my mind

there still is so much to see and do

life at any age can be exciting and new

I need to get out of my comfort zone

dance to a different music, another tone

see the beauty, hear the sound

look around me from higher ground

let my imagination guide my thought

don’t want my life to be for naught

be busy and happy all the time

try to stay healthy and in my prime

treat every day as if it might be last

live it up once more, then go fast

    And long may you feel so.

    • FredPeyer

      Thanks da, and I do hope I will be around a bit longer!

    • Doggerel Dave

      Good advice you've modeled there - I think I'll keep it for future reference.

      Regards Dave

        Thanks DD, I am humbled that you think my "advice" is worth keeping!

      • Goldfinch60

        Thoroughly agree with you Fred, I will meet you at the top of that mountain we are both climbing.

          Andy, I am looking forward to look at the view from up there together with you!

          You is already doing so - climbing trees anyway. You moving on to mountains now?! Good write Fred.

          • FredPeyer

            You know Orchie, the tree just isn't tall enough. We need to get outside our comfort zone sometimes.

            good, hopeful message!

            • FredPeyer

              Thanks Christina! No matter the age, we gotta be positive, especially with all the negativity in this world!
