This Decade
I am looking back to this decade, seeing my life;
Looking at my family, as well as my loving wife.
I see so many waters that passed under the bridge;
Sitting out my back deck, looking out over the ridge.
This decade has brought me such joy, and some pain;
The beauty of the sun is without meaning without the rain.
My daughter gave me a grandson, he is so handsome;
Living as a single mom, sometimes leaving her feeling numb.
I have taken care of my aging body well these ten years;
Weights, cycling, yoga, running; with joy and painful tears.
Three marathons completed just to prove that I still can;
I'm in the best shape of my life, I feel like a brand new man.
Poetry sprang from my yoga practice, as meditation did grow;
Words pored onto the pages, expressing feelings I never did know.
Writing from a pool of life I had never discovered before;
Now I am able to say I feel I am now living on life's victory tour.
My wife and I have put a delicious topping on our union;
The thirty three years were enhanced by our communion.
We have become travelers, exploring our unique world;
Living our lives with new abandon, letting them go unfurled.
This decade has been good, I would love to continue the roll;
I have grown strong in my body, in my mind, and in my soul.
I am thankful that I lived at this moment in time with zest;
Hoping that this next decade, I will live and see the best.
