A friend and fellow poet usually
ends in her reviews to
me, "stay strong."
I live in strength, but none of us knows its length. Becoming older and weak, is a fear that does peak. I'm so independent, I hate the thought of ever being dependent.
As I deal with my fear, I can feel the future coming near. Closer and closer it approaches, sneaking up like roaches.
So I smash the bug, and give the present a hug. Knowing I am strong, living where I want to belong. I enjoy my moments of fame, in lifes cruel game.

You are strong - and you will stay strong. Because you figured out for yourself what is important in life.
Good one.

Grady,
Everyone can identify with this. We're all worried about the end, especially after watching our loved ones die. Also, fame is hard won and often not as wonderful as we thought it would be. I'm hoping that the end will open up a whole new and wonderful life and that we will have all those things that we missed out on in this world.
You are the strongest person
I know , my friend. I admire
you greatly for your strength
and your words of wisdom you
so kindly lavish on us when we
need it the most.
God bless you always.
I feel the same, too, as the future approaches... it's scary to me. I guess the lesson is to take one day at a time because that's what I've been reduced to... thank you for sharing this, Grady! Don't let life's cruel game get you down, especially when there's others that support you..... stay strong...
In Spirit,
Bear
