Pop

In aging, in life, in all:
a strong example ignored
before my eyes as the old oak
tree in the yard -
quiet,
steady,
there.
That I had paid attention
to his wisdom sooner,
what an easier passage
I might have made.

   In line 8, did you mean “had I”….?

   1. I think the wording was correct, but the punctuation was poor. I’ve “fixed it”…maybe 🙂
