In a good life we need three things
Every day we get up.
We need something to do.
It could be a project,
A project we are working on.
It could be meeting friends,
We need to do something in life.
The next thing we need is love,
Love from people around us,
Or from that one person,
That one person so special,
So special in our lives.
The third thing we need,
We need to recover,
Recover from any problems,
Any problems we have had.
I am a lucky man
As each day I get up
There is something to do,
I also have the love,
The love in my life
And she is always with me.
As for problems
I have overcome them,
Overcome them throughout my life
And reached the glory,
The glory of old age
Showing me a good life,
A good life that I have had.

I am alone these days but have a little dachsund who is a real joy and helps fill the void when I lost Jeanne but otherwise this write reflects my own situation with loving children who look out for me - I am a lucky man with so many interests the time left isn't long enough to do all I want to acieve and the days are too short.
Very true Michael one of the things I say about my life is the regards to music, so much music - so little time, and it has been like that all my life. I have even started to play the clarinet again which brings me so much pleasure.

Us two have been getting up daily for millions of years! lol.
I'm not keen on 'luck' though.
We have Orchi and we deserveit.

A very encouraging piece here Andy, that outlines the bare foundations but also beautiful simplicities of life.
In such a world of designed convolution, the only way to hold onto any sanity, is for these three things to be adhered to.
Bravo, and I hope that all is well.
\Thank you Ben for your kind words, I too hope all is well with you.
Andy

The truth has been spoken. I could not agree more with the theme of your poem. We are two lucky men, though in reality, not much was left to luck. Very much enjoyed this one. - Phil A.
Thank you Phil, yes luck may have come into it sometime but we have deserved to have that licj.
