I find that at my age

Many things don’t interest me…

Other’s drama, opinions on things

That don’t affect me, others views or

Opinions of me…

I stay away from what is unimportant

Or things I can’t change or that

Which I have learned from years of trying

Don’t matter to others….

My life has shortened to the point

Where dust continues to fall

And now doesn’t bother me at all…

If it bothers others, let them dust.

Food and meals no longer rule my days

As I find, like all Gods creature what is

Needed to stay alive is always nearby

and now only eat

When hungry, not on a schedule

Or in great quantities…

The later in life that one realizes

That joy and love outranks all

The sooner happiness begins…

Alone time is needed for contemplation

And loneliness can exist in a crowd…

Acceptance of self is more important

Than popularity as God intended

One to excel with the gifts He implanted

In your soul and not in the thoughts,

Ideas or expectations of others…

One entered solo unless a twin

And will leave alone, at the hour

Of God’s hand…

Therefore at this age..,

I realize that God and I have

A closer outlook on what needs

To be accomplished to sculpt me

Into what He wants, intends and

Needs this child of God to do and Be….
