Looking Forward.

Goldfinch60



I look back at my life,

A life now nearly at and end,

Having had so many years behind me

Than those ahead of me.

But in all those many years

I see joy and love in all of them,

No regrets about anything that has passed.

 

Now I awake every day

Knowing that this will be a good day,

As I know that those ahead of me

Will always be good days.

May there be many more of them,

Many more of them to enjoy,

To enjoy and cherish.

    Indeed - my first thoughts on waking are 'Ah great, I'm still here'. Nice one Andy.

    • Goldfinch60

      We are very alike in that respect Michael, may there be many, many more.

      A very encouraging two stanzas here Andy, though life's rushes come thick and fast, it's important to have a well rooted sense of joy.

      I still, I hope, have many years to live, and I hope, that I reach your most wonderful sated situation, after my shifts are done.

      Bravo, and I hope that all is well!
