I'm an old man too. Aches and pains getting off the couch. Survivor of many surgeries. Dodged the Vietnam troubles. Many I knew never got the chance to grow old. Only been robbed at gunpoint once. Had the very good luck to meet/marry a lovely woman who has been my constant companion for 47+ years. Three lovely boy children all doing well. Four lovely grand daughters. Many travels to foreign lands. Much of it free travel. Worked for a big airline. Worked on a cruise ship. Tick tock...a steady march to the end. Much luck with few regrets. It all seems sweet as I look back and approach the end times. Did I say, "few regrets"?
Nice!

Ken, you're a much better writer than anyone gives you credit for. Changing meter in the dream-stanzas? I never would've thought
Sorry. Just happened
Good one!
