Are You Ready

2002 Poetry

The leaves are turning colors of more than one shade

Soon the cold winds will blow, and they will soon fade

Dropping from the trees and clearing our sight

With the branches appearing as if with the blight



Just like our life as we grow older in years

When it's time to make sure it's not in arrears

We set things straight so we don't have to worry

For if you wait, you may not have time to hurry



Life goes by fast making time run out quick

And you could be gone in just a blink and a tick

So make sure things are set and everything's in order

Before you are gone and become cemetery fodder.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Hey, don't look at me!  I just sit down and write what pops into my head, or should I say out of it.  What ever it is, if you don't like it you can't blame me.  On the other hand if you do like it, I'll certainly take the credit. (LOL)
