Jubilation

Thanks for the jubilation

Mid my aging acclimation.

I paused for a while

To laugh and to smile

While avoiding cancellation.

It was my day of gaining age

In a world where youth is the rage.

I exercised – ate food good –

Those things of healthy should,

And did again the reaper assuage.

Life’s celebration will continue

With certainly much less ballyhoo.

For I have been blessed,

And will strive for my best

To live well the days I accrue.

Another year I am given

To learn how to be liv’n.

I will write as I am able

Penning prose and fable

And hope to be forgiven.

Thank you all for your kind messages,

~ Michael
