Life begins when life begins.

When I was young, I lived it up And burned the candle at both ends But now that past is left behind And I have changed those awful trends. I have begun anew it seems And I will start to hoard my time, For now I think that I'll admit That I am finally past my prime. Therefore I'll sleep from nine to nine Then take a walk once I have eaten I'll take it easy from then on If I don't race, I can't be beaten. But just to keep my mind in shape My muse and I have made a pact I'll write at least one poem per week As part of my declared contract. THE END (C) 2006, Henry L. Lefevre

Therefore I'll sleep from nine to nine
Then take a walk once I have eaten
I'll take it easy from then on
If I don't race, I can't be beaten.

I always thought I'd like to learn scuba diving when I'm 60, hang gliding when I'm 70, and join a circus when I'm 80...maybe do a trapeze stunt or two...by 90 take a hike across Europe. Then when I'm 100 maybe write a book about it all, and after that...well, God only knows :o)

Keep on rockin' Henry! We'll be watching for those weekly poems!
