    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 fruit​
    Ripe and ready to eat​
    The crunch of an apple​
    Between the teeth​
    Juices flowing freely​

    The first breath of air​
    At early morn​
    The last sip of morning brew​
    The goodness of living another day​
    To say Bonjour​
    To the joy of living​


    ~ Dr. Joe ~​

    In no way do I mean any offense,

    quite simply, the magic of the passing.
    God Bless.
    Peace.
