To Do or To Be

To Do or To Be
Aging bring the opportunity to simply “be” 
and to give this gift to our loved ones.

My question today
“To do or to be?”
Does older age offer
the answer for me?

As I be and become
on life’s terms, not mine,
I recognize mystery,
simple answers redefined.

Listening to people
with head and with heart
keeps me in present
held together, not apart.

So now is my time
to be an expert at being
and fill up these years
with fullness and meaning.
