"One Fist Still Raised" [Reflections on Book - Right Side Up Side Down Romeo Lemieux and Connie Bischoff re:Sunflower]
Two books I’m reading at one time –
One Down-Side-up, one on design –
A note about defiant fists,
Along with drooping heads like this –Combine – look close – with lolling head
Two fists up-raised, it must be said
One’s tired out, and groups as well,
But down below it grows to tell –The world that aging different is
Today, tomorrow – starting biz
Is what I do pre-seventy years
Life is so short – let’s make this clear –Some say, “Die Broke” (blow all year stash);
“Die Empty” (finish work you’re asked);
“Content” (‘Five Hundred Things to See’);
And now just go “Contentedly”.Not “Quiet Into Long Good Night” –
“Second career’s” now in my sites;
Who knows what’s up ahead for each;
Content indeed – life’s not a beach.Thanks Lord for this.
