Back when. 73


Back when
I was going
To live 
Forever

I was going to learn to speak Italian
Practice karate every day
Bike across America
Visit Antarctica 
And solo sail around the world 
But now as I begin
My 78 year on
The pretty blue water planet
I get great joy 
From simple pleasures
Reading with my wife in the morning
Having a long lunch with friends
Romping through our fields
With my dog Peanut 
And creating gratitude for
What ever time I may have left

Back when
I was going
To live 
Forever
