A Mid Life Crisis Poem by Joseph Anderson
A Mid Life Crisis
He's sitting front and center
As we toast him here today;
'Tis sad he'll ne'er reenter,
His youth, once bright and gay.
Despite his promising career,
His darling wife and kids;
We hope the spectors lurking near
Won't send him into skids.
You see, he's turning big 5-0,
Oh! The trauma of it all.
His spring and summer came and went
And up ahead looms fall.
Now, at life's epicenter,
Bereaved with loss of fun;
To see what's waiting down the road,
Just grab life's ball and run.
till it's over
Great advice in the last line, Sir, whatever our age, fantastic poem, loved it.
What ever be the age, don't stand transfixed! 'Just grab the ball and run' as you advise and as you do! Interesting read!
Ya hit me right in the center of the heart with this one Joseph! I really enjoyed it!
Reminds me of football; those guys don't play. And the older I get, the more I realize that age is no deterrent; gotta take life by the horns. Good writing. Enjoyed.
