many ways to travel always lie ahead
Too Busy To Grow Old
Our bodies may wane and slowly age
yet in our minds and spirits remain
ever alert and eager to know and see more
so much each of us have left yet to do
many ways to travel always lie ahead
hope, a perpetual way to glide and arrive
dreams hover enticingly to arouse and abide
joys, memories, moments of magic and miracles
catch us in sighs and unimagined depths of surprise
time and universe is always in motion
never idle without any effect or cause
all of us have music to hear, songs yet unsung
and love still in waiting to fondly express
its magic and mystery , forever cherish and hold
Many around us are in dire voids, needs unmet
each of us can some timely deed sometime perform
those in harm or darkness clasp hope or light
sharing our kindness, warmth and caring's grace
to those we see along the path any given day
Time and universe will go on 'ad infinitum'
we are here only once and one time around
each day anew is a pass to be alive and thriving
if we never cease to yearn and wonder all life through
to go beyond the ordinary and usually accepted
and reach within those inner depths and capacities
with all our energies and tenacities yet unbound
we will indeed find that when all not yet said or done
all ahead or yet unachieved; any given day or hour
we inevitably will sigh, all the more gratefully avow
we are indeed...TOO BUSY TO GROW OLD!
