SONG OF A SURVIVOR
The Song of a Survivor
Aging isn't fun to think about
but it beats other potential paths.
Grandchildren two hundred miles away
are hard to hug but would read
if I texted them about "All Hallows Day"
and a cemetery in Mexico I visited on November 1st
to see flower-covered graves on the Day of the Dead.
When memories of distant places need suffice
for trips to exotic places, I could crave unseen sights
but rest content singing my song of a survivor.
