In my first published book "Thoughts While Aging" this is the first offering. I would like to share it with you.
I'm not as young as I once was but I'm as young now as I ever will be... and still have the rest of my life to live. Hallelujah! I may have lost a step in my pace, may forget a few things and skies may be gray. But I am so thankful to be alive today. Hallelujah! There are things to do, places to go, people to see, with so many options. It's a wonderful world. Hallelujah! So I try to greet each day with a smile on my face. Some times it is not too easy. But Hey... today IS the first day of the rest of my life. Hallelujah!

I don't worry about it. Like you say, I try to meet each day with the best intentions.

She Intrigues Me, Revelations Of Love by Jon Willey

If you tend to believe romantic, passionate, masculine poetry is a thing of past eras, read "She Intrigues Me," and be swept away in the beautiful craft of a contemporary poet of love.
