For some reason you are being saved for some future which neither of us see. Although not quite as old as you I have seen every single one of my close friends go to that other side. Why them and not me? Likely NOT because I'm gonna write some poem which will be recalled over the ages lol. So I guess we will need to just keep holding on until our time comes.......stan
I feel now this site flows
slower than the Blue Nile .
I wonder where is Gee
he has gone
not since long been seen
not on the screen
have you not noticed
But I'm no where among older
yet the aged poet
though perhaps along side thee
but
when time comes
none can hold it
I lived from 13 now nearing 83
not aged tho eroded inner body

hold my hand as long as dearest friend stan

I wonder why or how I'm still living
many younger folks went into oblivion
left a half blind fully deaf guy in me
why this punishment for me
who ordained it
Daily I get news
so and so relative
and relative of theirs
pass by this tunnel of life
then
why not me
Isn't it blasphemy
Stan
do tell me
