It's a Good Life if you Don't Weaken - the Poem

 



i)

current health to stay  - yes
but even more...
find somewhere to go
find somewhere to grow

it is necessary
it is normal

go somewhere you're needed
valued loved appreciated

sure yes
I'm ready 
I'll go now.
but where?

ii)  

heads hung with woe will rise
hoods will fall back
tears...dried

integrity  - intact, battered besieged,
           yet intact 

going
growing
even in these last days.

  1. I think you'll like Victoria. Yes, traveling is great but good health is even better.

  2. Yes, help and teach others is my motto. Are you moving? Yes, Victoria is a pretty town, fish and chips are wonderful at the wharves where the boats are docked.

  3. Health, growth, being of service, and maybe a new adventure – great things to aim for.

  4. I hope I never grow too old to plan, be of service, love, think. Your poetry stuck a deep chord in me.
