My dad's last poem, written in his final days, as he was passing away from cancer, at the age of 92. The Joy of Living The fragrance of a fruitRipe and ready to eatThe crunch of an appleBetween the teethJuices flowing freely The first breath of airAt early mornThe last sip of morning brewThe goodness of living another dayTo say BonjourTo the joy of living ~ Dr. Joe ~
