5 AM again

Since I was 10, I have been up at 5 AM

Started with the newspaper route

Developed into a seminary

Graduated to a postal career

Finally marriage with children

Seems to be my moment to reflect

Quite crucial to my sanity

Though others might say not successfully

Thentalk every morning to myself

I see no harm in that

No one is actually listening

And yet, though I have not put my hearing aids in

I believe I have something worthy to listen to

Today’s media, which is slightly just way too much

Leaves me questioning what actually is ‘reality’?

I was raised Catholic democrat

Finally realized that all parties needed to talk

But finally, I’m of the opinion that at the end of the day

Rabble rousing seems to be the name of the game

Spent many years with my dear friend, Julie

Try to navigate the tides of family life

Sometimes successfully other times struggling

But today this very morning, May 8 2026

We seem to be where we started

Scrapping for every idea to survive

Adjusting our lifestyle to be together

At 20 and 21 there was no endgame

At 76 and 75 we are in the final innings

Trying to maximize our time

Quiute late late to find out that maybe we didn’t eat right

Exercise, right, or make all the right choices

Probably now is the time to just enjoy

And yes we do include all of you!
