Seasoned, you asked...yes
I believe that's me
seasoned like a stack of well aged hay
piled in the field of life
enjoying the sun
withstanding the wind and the rain
the weather has not bothered me
but only helped me grow
and contribute to the world
the horses, the cows and the sheep
will take from me
so I can earn my way
I give freely because I believe
there are better things in life
than to become moldy and waste away

Yes..i do hope so..life can leave you weather worn..but that doesn't have to mean worn down I guess!
ReplyDeletethanks Jae..wrods from you are always a joy.
DeleteLife has a habbit of making us feel weary, but so long as we have hope there is always a chance.
ReplyDeletethanks John...for the visit and the thought
DeleteIndeed there are better things in life than becoming moldy and wasting away, and writing such accomplished poetry as yours is an example!
ReplyDeleteGranny...it's people like you and you late husband that lead the way...you are always an inspiration to me.
DeleteCouldn't agree more Grizz. Coming from what is beginning to look like a great age (although not so much these days) I try not to be mouldy, although the world has got me down lately. Up and at 'em must be the intent.
ReplyDeleteI try to ignor the world...it doesn't care what I think..
DeleteSeasoned, battered, dashes of salt and pepper...we have been doing with our food, now life is doing it with us. Something like campaign medals I suppose.
ReplyDeleteabsolutely...I like "campaign medals" and those aches and pains are the only way I'm sure that I'm still alive.
Deletei absolutely agree. age as they say doesnt matter. at all.
ReplyDeleteonly if you let it...thanks for the visit
DeleteI loved this! But one must remember that allowing oneself to be nibbled on by horses means you might also reap the "output," hee hee. But then, even that will help you grow all the more.
ReplyDeleteGrizz, I love your outlook on the world. You're a sailor on a planet with too many trudging drones. Love, Amy
wow what great compliment but remember... a little horse manure gives a someone the smell of a real person.
DeleteOne more thing...the best smelling roses have been fertilized with manure
Excellent piece:) Keep the independence of spirit.
ReplyDeleteahh yes, it may be all that I have left
DeleteLife has a way of seasoning us and you're right it's better not to become mouldy and just waste away.
