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.
Thank you arqios, we know we are very lucky.

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.....
Thank you Dave.
I too have a collection of sticks which my wife use to use before she passed.
