Six Big Decades

Six decades have passed since my adjustment days

Filled with denying I wasn’t different from anyone else

 

Five decades ago have passed since my experimenting days

Filled with surfing, girls, some beer and being with everyone else

 

Four decades have passed since the time of disciplining myself for a thousand days

Filled with mastering a calendar, creating life like most everyone else

 

Three decades have passed since the breaking of barriers and soring high in those days

I was confident as I looked around for someone else

 

Two decades have passed, I have no need to compete today

I like my kids and their kids being themselves and no one else

 

One decade has past, my health intact and no longer counting the days

Classical music sounds right in my house, I have no need to talk about much else

 

One tenth of one decade has past I enjoy most days

I write my reflections, if I don’t I doubt it will be done by anyone else

 

One twelfth of one year has passed, I continue to marvel at my health these days

There’s nothing more to report about anything else

 

Today has been a good day

I sat and enjoyed the sun streaming in and not much else

 

Here I am

Love, there doesn’t need to be anything else
