Seventy Years

Seventy years
Sounds like a long time
So far to go
Many hills to climb

I’ve just started
Barely out the gate
Moving too slow
I’m already late

Seventy years
Doesn’t seem so long
What I do right
Beats what I do wrong

I remember
On this special day
How to live life
You showed me the way


This is dedicated to my late mother, who would have turned 71 today.  I miss you, mom.

  2. Bubba, this is so lovely and so touching, especially your message to your Mom at the end. Beautiful and poignant. It all goes by way too fast - enjoy every day!

  3. I knew this wasn't about you. Your avatar photo is too young.

    It's hard to lose your mother. I miss mine almost every day and she's been gone since 1997.

    71 doesn't sound so old to me now as it would have a few yrs back. Happy Birthday to your mamma.

  4. Nice tribute, lost my mom a few years ago in a house fire, it's never easy no matter how they pass or how long it's been. My condolences.
