Success
My bones are better than they once were,
fragile as a child, broken as a young adult,
strengthened now by effort and time.
My eyes see more, and better too, and when
they’re tired, they rest, not needing to
gather every sight, sometimes happy to
simply watch a young couple in love stroll by.
My back and knees know how to bend, and how to
lift, to stay away from trouble in its many forms,
because my ears no longer
hear the proud demands of youth.
The sky is bluer than it’s ever been and
I have yet to see a lake that did not calm me.
Warmed by the sun of the West, I can’t wait
to see what each new day brings to
add to my joy.
