          Just pass it by

I'll be seventy nine real soon
And still fight battles in the noon.
Fact, I can't remember the day
Where least one, stand in my way.

They rise like windmills in my path
In constant movement full of wrath.
Spit current winds that snort at me
Raise dust like smoke so I can't see.

Tower above the scenery
Blow down upon the greenery
Rapacious in their angry mood
And just as often stand and brood.

But I have learned to live with them
I walk around their outskirts hem
Pass them by without a cry
Leave them their augmented vie.

At my age it's better let lie,
Then challenge every do or die.

Seymour~
The wisdom of the sage ...
how expertly you work your craft.

But I have learned to live with them
I walk around their outskirts hem
Pass them by without a cry
Leave them their augmented vie.'


Such charm you are.

Seymour....
           What good advice you offer in this poem!!  It would benefit all ages, I believe......it is better to let things lie,
              sometimes!!
          Great writing here, my friend!


Today is a gift....
That is why they call it
'the Present'!
