A New Point Of View Poem by Theresa Ann Moore

No more assuming that the days ahead are many
No more wasting hours… because there are plenty
Growing old gives the brain a brand-new perspective
Setting goals into action with a newborn directive

Years have created a heap of monotone experiences
An urge emerges to be adventurous with expedience
A final chance to discover before the possibility is gone
Before library doors close and the last book is withdrawn

Taking a leap from an airplane… bravely skydiving
Satisfying a craving for excitement… and surviving
Taking an extended trip on big boat…going on a cruise
Graciously accepting invitations that were once refused
