A JOURNEY INTO THE EDGE
(Dedicated to all my friends treading on the same beaten path)
Lonely days are unheard of
If friends are all around
Delightful in anticipation
Of an event that's about to come
Aches and pains just seem to disappear
As the planned shindig draws near
You even rummage from the closet
The best attire you have to wear
Party time swiftly turns into a blast
Belting out old songs from the distant past
There's even the gleeful dancing spree
Cha-cha, tango, and even the "maskipaps"
Endless chatter is the order of the day
Various health issues come forth to stray
Vertigo, acid reflux, diabetes
Rheumatism, hypertension and prostatitis
But all of these pale in comparison
To the pleasure and delights of the occasion
" Let's live the moment!" they all chanted in unison
"Forget the burden and the load, let's all move on"
Such is the fate of those living on the edge
Of life's afterglow, the twilight of the day
Though we have to endure all the pains and sorrow
Our true faith in the Almighty will save our souls.
