Breathless

'tis one thing 
to have my breath taken away
by the sheer joy of living on
beautiful Cape Cod by the sea.

'tis quite another thing
to being breathless with
a form of emphysema often
refered to simply as COPD.

'tis my good fortune
to be able to live in nirvana
and breath at all while
approaching eighty eight.

'tis no wonder
I feel a lttle tuckered out
at the end of the day.
and can't remember getting to this state.

As long as you can get about and breathe these beautiful words, you are all right in my book.

"and can't remember getting to this state!" Love it!
Just take in that salt air and enjoy our good fortune of living in God's creation!

I absolutely relate to this, John. Emphysema! I have been walking down that road for many years. Eh, thank to the superior modern medicine I am able to lead pretty much a normal life. Good luck to you and I hope you will, in the future, be approaching ninety-eight.
