What the Heck by Kathleen Higham Peeking through my window, the dawn Another day begins, another gone A catchy tune called, "What the Heck" Rides with me on my trusty Trek. Aging has its moments, I attest Details park inside the mind to rest Wishing I was younger it is true Things I'd have changed if I knew. Oh, "What the Heck," I say This is just a beautiful day The wind steals my breath away A time to enjoy my life and play. Here and there a little tweak Joints murmuring to me then creak To say nothing of my boney rear At least I tucked away my fear. A bumpy, thumpy beat in my heart It wasn't there at the very start Refusing to acknowledge a tiny ache I'm fine, just fine for heaven's sake. The Irish pushes hard inside my soul Nothing can deter me from this goal Even an anxious pain in the chest My time, it will be my absolute best. 30 miles I plan to ride my Trek Symptoms come, I say, "What the Heck" There's nothing wrong with me, so sure Oh maybe, but I was built to endure. Feeling just a little breathy now Moving slower like a lazy cow Younger, how I wish this to be so Thinking of all the things I know. Having put my body to the test Surely I have given it my best Hearing the words ride merrily A poem surfaces for me to see. Oh, "What the Heck," I sighed Survived this curious, furious ride Home again to park my Trek away Thank you Lord for yet another day…. |
