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.

Ah, Larry, there is so much correspondence between your sentiment and mine...

but alas, words about what I might have left for the word to reflect on similarly sound but so differently be:

Now groan...

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!
