{..}<\/p>\n
sitting alone in my old rockin’ chair
\nya think i’m neglected? i don’t
\ntime with my loves have only
\ntwo measurements:
\ntime they are here, time they return.
\nholding no expectations
\nhere and returns
\nmake for great jubilation<\/p>\n
there’s rhyme and reason
\nrockin’ alone
\nthru the ashes one finds
\nflip sides to past consternation
\nforgiving others becomes as easy
\nas forgiving self
\nseeing self as friend is to
\nreclaim our very own birth right<\/p>\n
golden years become golden
\nin full acceptance of
\nall life is a circle
\nbury me please
\nin an old pine box
\ndon’t want no
\nashes to ashes
\nwant fertilizer
