Does 50 Loom Large?

by Joe Cramer

Does 50 loom large

On the landscape of your life?

What will the days now bring,

Now that you are nearing the time

When you will be on this planet

For half a century?

So what will the next 50 bring

As you contemplate your life?

Do you anticipate your death,

Or perhaps even the chance

That you will live longer?

Does 50 loom large in your life?

Author's Note: For a good friend who will turn 50, all too soon....

Age is relevant to some extent, a marker for others for me, however.... life is the celebration. Every moment.. every additional breath we are given is another chance to live! aloha to you and yours from this side of paradise.. alisa ;-)
