71 and Counting
I favor my Father
-same eye and hair color
-same shape of face and build
-simular tastes in food and music
I am approaching the age
of his death from heart disease
71 years
7 months
17 days
I make an appointment
with my cardiologist
and wish I took after
my Mother
who lived to be 84

I understand the song that you are singing.
A universal song-🥴
I have some of the same worries, Toni. At least I don’t smoke.

I had my coffee with your poem this morning! I am sure you have a gene or 2 from your mother! I like the shape and straightforwardness of this poem.
