It was just here yesterday, I remembered your smile. But my thoughts, they don't stay. They haven't for awhile. I know it's not far off when your smile will be new. I won't remember it. I won't remember you. Memories are the one thing we think will never leave. But this disease takes everything, that's now what I believe. So smile for me now while I still...

Premium Member Summer End-Fall Onset
Written: August 22, 2023 ______________________________________________________________ Under the warm glow of a summer night's sky. I discover solace and serenity, an instant of sigh. While enjoying a cup of coffee, I relax on my deck. I relish seeing nature portray its wonderful trek. Maples, which was once green, turned red.

Premium Member The Onset of Old Age
The Onset of Old age Written: by Miracle Man 1-20-2019 Was when our get up and go, Had suddenly skedaddled. And with serious health issues, We suddenly found ourselves saddled. But this hasn't left us, Entirely broke Just slightly bent. Leaving nothing to fight over, Has become our intent. At death, what remains, Those feeling entitled will fight. Seeing our death's as a windfall, And perhaps their birthright? ...

The Onset of Recognition Still Yet Unaware
Woe the one who denies feeling, refusing to follow the tempting caresses of emotion Claims boredom, holding back from crossing over into the land of adventure of which one stands upon without recognition.
