Choka 1009

Fifty-Nine

Now, all is quiet
And yet, not…the house whispers
As all houses do…
Little, unique noises.
The ceiling fan spins
The air, rich with the fragrance
Of savory goulash…
There is a smile on my face
A mischievous one
Knowing the smells of cooking
Will enter the dreams
Of my sleeping wife and son.
A new year for me…
I am fifty-nine today
Contemplating more mischief.

Benjamin Disraeli

Congratulations! You're only beginning that part of life with real meaning and rewards... The big 60 is just a figure, I'm told, but if you try that on me, I'll add a decade to your young age! - Bill
