Opportune Time Poem by Marvin Brato Sr

Age is just a number
that has no bearing
as against the mind set
it is interest and character
that counts most in this life

Aging only weakens the body
but not the ember in our soul
as long as we possess enthusiasm
and the interest to indulge existence
then we have all the privilege to enjoy

Old age is inevitable
death eventually comes
but while we still breathe
then let us live to the fullest
today is the most opportune time
