Another Birthday February 21, 2019February 25, 2019 / Jeffrey Thal The sun came up again today I hear; It’s hard to tell sometimes, obscured by cloud In March. But year after relentless year It comes. Another number on this proud But aging body, bent but not so old That woman mine can’t re-ignite the flame Of raging fire in loins that, sometimes cold, Can heat to loving touch. There is no shame In periodic failure at a time When some cannot get rise when duty calls. While medication helps some in that climb To passion, these old bones still scale those walls. She stands behind just now with candle bright And whispers, “Now!” To bed! To you, GOOD night! Share this:TwitterFacebookLike this:Like Loading...
