Sun

Burns my eyes

Reflecting off snow

Fumble for my flip up

Sunglasses

The ones that make me

Look goofy

At my age

How I look

Takes a backseat

To how I feel

Life behind me

Life present

Life spreading out

Before me still left

To live

The world is just as

Big

As when my eyes were

New

Each day brings joy

Each day has its own special

Heartbreak

But each day matters

In the grand scheme of

Things.
