What am I at Sixty-five?
Less than I once dreamed...more than I once feared
Habitue' of several 'Greasy Spoons'- patronized by lonely men
Respected (mostly) by my peers
Escapee from a prior life of two jobs and constant running
A helper -- a problem-solver
Free at last from certain youthful doubts and demons
Healthy (mostly) and admiring the courage of those who went before me
A loving father and brother
not without a certain restless yearning
In love with my house and garden
A 'Fool of books'
Excited by the possibilities of each new day
Still dreaming
