ANOTHER YEAR - 2012

Quietly it sneaked in-not one firecracker or glass of champagne in sight,
as usual for Leisure World-it was just another humdrum,silent night.
Of course they had parties and dances- but that was not for little me:
at ninety-nine one wants to ignore "Time" as you can readily see.

Yet, truly there is no cause to complain: aren't I the luckiest kind of man:
to still think straight, be able to walk and to be a true baseball fan .
To wake up each morning one day older and admire the California sun,
not to have to go to work- to be able to go back to bed is such fun !

Truly, I do not know how I deserve such late days of quiet pleasure,
when each moment of breathing is such joy and a huge treasure
New calendars I received ,almost a dozen, to keep track of each new day,
that I am so blessed is a Godsend- what more can I happily say.

To know that my dear kids will soon come to visit -my greatest joy,
what other great thoughts can top them for this so very ancient boy ?
No matter what the future brings- I had a full measure of fine living:
another year to confidently face-may it be one of getting and giving !
