1600
Traveling through this life for over five decades
I have discovered that everyday living will never just be a breeze,
Because each day I wind up misplacing my phone, glasses or keys.
Every single day I forget something vital to my existence,
So as usual being the trooper that I am I tell myself without hesitance:
That I better blow a kiss if everything is going my way because I’ve died and gone straight to Heaven.
But I keep stepping because like Eric Clapton said I know I don’t belong I need to get out quick like a Seven/Eleven.
Yes, technology has simplified yet at the same time complicated most of our days,
Creating so many usernames and passwords feels like walking blindfolded through a maze.
Then there’s credit cards and pin numbers and the never ending extra step the ‘security code’
Then there’s my Alexa and my Smart Tv that I have to make sure is hooked up to the correct node.
But I continue to tell myself that life doesn’t owe me anything
And to make it through this life to the table humility I must bring.
So no longer do I split hairs over not being able to find the remote,
Because I know that I can download it to my phone and that’s all she wrote.
But there are times when I can’t locate an important email and at me it eats and it tears,
Then again, I remind myself that I had better blow a kiss if everything is going my way because
I’ve died and gone straight to meet the man upstairs.
