Let the Future In



Here comes my opportunity
To see 2020
Despite myopia at last

Nightly I saw plenty
Of hopelessness along the way
Gone wrong this long year past

Enough dystopia for now
But this stuff toughened me
To hope for hope on New Year's Day

Having turned 65
The night before from less to more
Open to hope again

My new old age a new page or
A coupon if not free
For senior discount anyway

Surviving to arrive
In 2020 to begin
The after of before

Returning for my turn somehow
Not to be turned away
Hoping for something to hope for

Whatever comes to say
Here comes my opportunity
Open to what will be

Closing the door on what has been
To let the future in

Reviewed by Ronald Hull
Reviewed on December 11, 2019
You certainly are embarking on a new deal… Particularly, Medicare eventually, Social Security. Leaving behind middle-age and embarking on the age of wisdom. Use it well.

Even old dogs know the value of a good back scratch.
