winter is upon me
both by season
and by my age
and quite frankly
in my opinion
both have come too soon
of course there
is little I can do
about either
I suppose
I could
move to a warm climate
but I am fine here
after almost 70 years
I'm used to the weather
as to the winter
of my life
this I can do nothing about
Except to enjoy
to live what
I have left

besides
it beats
the alternative
