Last Time
days pass by quickly
seven at a time
blew by unfairly
wind, sand, sun
all gone away now
until next time - next year
one year older then
hip replacement and all
learning to walk again
in the sand especially
backpacks and canes
teens holding doors
speaking elderly words
making faces as I pass
me remembering quickly
how quickly it all passes
walking through and
saying "thank you..."
with a grinning smile.
a last look at the ocean
wearing polarizing lenses
poses no problems for me
white caps and all...
memories of body surfing
drinking beer, chasing
female companionship
lay on the sand as I walk
away with wife - last time.
