I’m was talking to a friend the other day
And she asked me, having passed sixty five
What I liked now about being alive
“Is it the joy of erupting in hysterical laughter?”
“Accomplishing a goal you’ve long sought after?”
“The feeling you get with the coming of spring?”
“The beauty outside with snow on everything?
“Perhaps the experience of falling in love?”
“The patterns high up in the clouds above?”
“The tastes of dinner and a good glass of wine?”
“The feeling you get when you’re dressed to the nines?”
Before she went further
To her I confessed
The answer was simple – “Yes”
