Revel in Your Golden Years

January 7, 2019

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. Since we’re beginning a new year, the theme for this week is new beginnings.

I welcome comments on my poems at https://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com .

A poem to someone who has just retired:

Revel in your golden years!

Enjoy them to the hilt!

Time has crossed an open sea

Impelled by restless winds.

Remember well the joys and tears,

Each passion run full tilt,

More pain and pleasure than might be

Endured, if not combined.

Now savor in tranquility

The things you leave behind.
