this time of year
is darkening every day
a few less hours of light
counting the blessings now
is a good way to help us see
why this time of year comes every year
I have what I want
but I wish for more
so I breathe and smile until
I hit the score of
realizing it is the person beside you
who can account for me being
and for my partner seeing
how we have grown wiser
and yes, sillier, in our young senior years
We have to laugh more
smile more
pray more
breathe slowly more
One never knows when we will soar
and when that happens
like who was keeping score?
