Thank you my friend.
Kindred spirits abound as we walk our lonely last mile.
Hoping grandchildren remember us with a smile.
We walk a lonely rocky path you see
It is time to pay the piper his fee
I am sailing on to a distant shore
I am opening life’s last door
Hoping grandchildren remember us with a smile.
Yes, recovering, just as I remember my grandparents with a smile, appreciation, love.
Thanks!

One more day I have been given.
It was not spoken nor revealed.
Yet sure I am that this is that day
Of all things ending; it shall be a day
Of fun and games and giving back
To you who gave with love and no
Wish that your favors should be
Repaid. Repay I shall with love
And thanks and a kiss goodbye . . .
So beautiful, Coco!
I have searched long for that love of all loves,
But it hastens not, though my winter's arrived
And leaves me desolate of every hope of warmth,
Comfort and a prospect of my name's immortality.
Nor will this elusive love reveal itself in my tiny dreams,
Allowing, at the very least, a gossamer of muted visions
That would elevate this worn and bitter man to a level of
Expanded vistas, kindling within flames of love's illusion ...

Today, today, as with all those new days before,
I awoke from the sweet dreams of nocturnal
Flights of fancy, and that they should take
Me through the break of day, lifting me
Skyward, such a silly, ordinary thing.
A child at heart and full of hope, I took for the
Hill outside my perch and said a prayer to
Icarus that, perhaps, he should favor
My plea to enter, but carefully so,
That realm where he once was.
I bowed my head, spoke my heart, and cast
Eyes toward eternal sun and lifted off the
Earth that held me fast, but now gave
Release to this boy who would not
Be told what dreams cannot be.

OOooh, these, too!!!
Good morning, Friend Rip!
What a pleasant surprise to awake at 2:something of a morn and find you and scattered verse about my desk!
Thank you so much. !!!
May you and yours have a wonderful day.
It has only now begun to rain . . . I wonder in what direction this event will direct my pen. . . .

Well, reading through this thread, Coco, was very enjoyable. I especially liked the two of yours that I copied and reposted!!!Your poetry is really beautiful!
Now, if only I could write something half as good, I wouldn't be half bad!(LOL)
CoCo, You have a wonderful day, too!
Edited to correct my sentence! One small word (as) and the meaning entirely changed!!!
Sorry for the faux pas, Coco!
