As I've gotten older, the things that matter have changed dramatically. I love being a grandfather, and spending time with my family. I've been a rambler, and gettin' older, but life just keeps getting gooder (sic). Yeah, though my clothes are old and some are torn and my sox are ragged and my shoes are worn My kids call it a five head on my face it’s right out front in the forehead place My hair is goin’ and getting grayer and, Oh God!, my face has seen a better day or... too many late nights, and days on the lam my joints are stiff and tend to jam Yet all in all, I just don’t feel so bad since surviving to live was all I had I’ve got “Trusty Rusty,” my old car and, beloved JoAnn, I wonder where you are I have a host of friends, they’re astoundin’ sharing hope and laughter, sittin’ ‘round in gatherings of coffee, love and feeling Thank the Universe I’m in the healing I see the children being, in their lives Unaware of being aware, their love thrives I’ve always wanted to get there, like a kid But I’ve felt so limited by the things I hid Not my failings, but my beliefs and thoughts Seeing more clearly, I reject the “oughts.” I can pick up my grandkids with one arm and be enraptured by their charm I can sit on the porch in the setting sun And I can momentarily be with the One seeking the serendipitous magical mysteries of life's ubiquitous twisteries |
