NONAGENARIAN FRIEND

She is a centenarian apple tree

yearly producing more fruit

She is a train.. each day

attracting more cars.

She is a river gathering

stream mass

as she flows to the sea

With her every hour

She gathers more power.



She was more likely

as a vegetarian

than were nonvegetarians

to reach the level

of nonagenarian


NONAGENARIAN ATHEIST

For 98 years he lived a life of pain..
thinking he would cease
when his heart stopped its beat....
nightmares of extinction.. meaningless existence..
Now he has shed his body clothes
Now God's unchanging Love he knows

Author's Notes/Comments: 

My nonagenarian friends:
one became a vegetarian
3 months ago..
one hitchhiked for
the first time in her
70's.. one is still
driving and shopping
and living by herself..one rode
a motorbike for the
first time this year..
they are as inspiring
as Granny D

Vegetarians receive
life insurance discounts
from some corporations
because of less serum
cholesterol, less food
poisoning, less cancer,
less heart disease, less
kidney dysfunction, less
arthritis etc.
