Contemplating It is the winter of my life And I don't need To plant a seed Or pluck a weed. In fall and winter I stay in. It is too cold, Jack Frost is bold And I am old. There was a time when winter palled, I longed for spring. But here's the thing I've lost my zing. Now I'm content to rest awhile To sit and wait, To contemplate The world's sad state. It is your turn, dear younger friends To face the cold, Reach for the gold. You're not yet old. If I've produced a line or two, Said something new, Inspired and true. 'Twill have to do.

The winter cold bothers me too. I wonder what age it is, when a person is considered old? I like this poem. |

This is so sad,Joyce.You can't make me sad like this!  This is another one from you that is very eloquent and thought provoking,but,you know,I think I have to make the same query as Smart Chick.BTW,I hate the cold too...but I think you already knew that  .Your friend,Geoffrey If a man has not discovered something he is willing to die for,his life is not worth living. |

Please don't be sad Geoffrey. I have a long way to go before I put a shawl on and sit by the fire. Love you, Joyce [This message has been edited by Joyce Johnson (11-16-2002 05:10 PM).] |

There is a lot to be said for the golden years---one learns to savor life and simply be. No driving and striving! I enjoyed this poem and I found that I began to breathe deeper and more slowly as I read on... EA |
