Walking In Old Age Sonnet.

Goldfinch60



Here we are, two old codgers together

Both alive in our late seventies

Lived our lives through both good and bad weather

A life that seemed to pass us like a whiz.

 

Looking back we feel we are so lucky

We can still both walk around without help

No sticks or frames which can be so yucky

Walking by Our River without a yelp.

 

Many of our age or younger than us

Can not walk without the help of a stick

Which can make them in their minds swear and cuss

And others we knew left life with a flick.

 

We will keep walking our life together

Towards that place we will share forever.

      That’s something to look forward to even as now having to shop around for the best lightweight walking sticks for myself.

          Indeed! Alas, balance and mobility eludes my DNA 🧬

          Lucky you so far mate. I, a few years your senior go with the stick, of which I have a small collection.....

          • Goldfinch60

              Lovely write. Being able to walk and stand is probably the biggest blessing that anyone can wish to have and like the icing on the cake, she is still around watching your back. Keep writing and keep going.

              • Goldfinch60

                So very true peet, thank you.
