Thank you for stopping by my site; I have just returned from the Hi-line in Montana where I grew up. Several poems, i.e., My Mother's Hands have developed from memories of home...
Some lines may have been cliche I agree, but the overall it is a good poem with a good dictum (live for today) and thoughts about life in general. Nice work.
The life of the retired, never knowing what is going to happen next. To those still working it is desirable, yet once you get there, it's not always what you thought it would be. Nice thought provoking poem.
I've returned to keep a blog on this site. I will blog about books that have excited me - books I've liked and books that fascinated me.
I published articles and short stories in magazines.
