time at 65!
each leads a life....to each a path their own; the time of day,the time of your life,certainties unknown; pick and choose...the laws of averages...decide,implied, complied; decide,deride,follow the tide,laws and rules abide!; you tried,you fried,a tempest in a teapot you applied; work at home,study in school,learned lessons survived,all your attempts verified; indeed,to succeed,implied learned skills...don't intercede; sweet smells of success....don't digress,work the plan,can manifest; a one act play? the direction today,rotation of ideas which stay; define success...a wealth of ideas...concrete wealth...a bit of hay?; ship ahoy,your destiny awaits,trials and tribulations abates or creates,while turning gray; the distant whistles approach,your train arrives by your life's station,is it time to digress to stop and say success today means time off the morrows and play?; the moments tick....the hours chime...the days of dawn to dusk afloat remote and vanish away, the time of your life ...a time to stay?; fun is fun,something missing these days?who can really say?; still need to succeed in balance with play?; follow the yellow brick road.dorothy would say,become the wizard in a special way,achieve success in others this day,to teach the younger eager to learn no easy trick; become the example and not the rule,clear the pathways,engender success in others before you need a walking stick!. in sports many a coach played the game in younger years; now applied lessons through others; moves and methods,past successes,no fears; this is a choice an older may make,the rhymes and rhythms differ,a choice be made,by some,not all clear; enjoy,enjoy in others....have no fears!!; is it time? is time still on our side? a time in a life to retire? to stop and smell the roses,marching foward,the mundane tasks which life imposes,the day to day stuff which helps define a life one supposes,stop i say! is this my stop which one end closes? today i become 65,no sure path known ahead,no time for sorrow,the march of time continues,no road map to direct me going foward....no fears ahead....i will stay the same and enjoy all my morrows!!!/mbtime at 65!

a time to retire? a time to stay the same? no easy decisions..at best we can only continue...till time ceases beyond our control!...all which remains are the memories in others still alive....so it goes/mb
