AGING
by Lin Floyd
Oh––to be young again,
but not to struggle
as I once did.
Without experience,
the journey was difficult.
Full of ruts and false starts.
With age, I look back
seeing the detours
that led no where.
Experience came with
a heavy price––precious time
never to be recovered.
Now memories of those
side trips bring me wisdom,
though, there's limited time left to use it.
Will other younger family members
listen as I try to share my journey?
Soon, I won’t be here to speak my truths.
