Now Grown
Now grown; from birth I never knew what to expect, what would ensue as each year passed. There was no guide on steps to take until one died. Yet, somehow, I have made it through my life of seventy plus two but still, unsure. What must I do to know my best has been applied now grown? Shall I, with words and deeds, imbue a testament of what is true or actions which must be applied each day? I’ll just let you decide if I have touched hearts of a few, now grown. ·······  ·······When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the areas of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of his existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

Hi Daniel,
Hope things are going well with your bum knee. Just wanted to make sure that your post was a self-recrimination "groan" and has nothing to do with the subject of the poem. Have a wonderful "day" at home with your family for Christmas. Candles still burning! Larry ······· ·······When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations.
