These are the twilight years. A life led to its fullest, working until you could barely get your boots off at the end of the day. Love and happiness, now found and lived, now gone.
I will take a pause and sit here with my dog for a while on these steps. It is just him and me now. Maybe a book now and then and breakfast with my old friends.
It seems that fewer and fewer show up anymore. There are still a few more dirt roads to walk down and a few more stories to write. Maybe someday someone will tell a story about us, an old man and his dog sitting on the steps.
Point Of View
It seems that it truly isn’t over until it is over. There comes a time when coffee with a friend or a walk down a path with your dog in tow is enough. We no longer chase after life; we sit under an oak tree sipping coffee and enjoy it. We don’t need more and, in fact, we need much less.
Your Point of View is so beautifully said Larry, and oftentimes, I wish I could take a break or retire, but the call for “help” and to share is just too great for me to ignore. ?

We remember the past, we own today and look forward to the possibility of the future
Your words always amaze me. Hope to someday be able to settle into writing like this. Feeling better today and hope to be back tomorrow or the next. This pollen just chokes me up. Love this piece. JJ
