PAD 29-2 Have blank


Have You Considered?

When you reach 60 you realize
you can go anytime.
My friend, sixty, a picture of health
died of a sudden heart attack.
But my father-in-law is celebrating his 103rd.
What if I have forty more years?
I could do a lot in forty years.

Instead of looking at my life
like it’s winding down,
perhaps, I’ll plan for forty more years,
doing the most important stuff first.
And if I die in a few years, oh well.
But if I live to be 100, at least,
I’ll have something to do.
