RIVERWOODS POEMS: LOOK TO THE HILLS

LOOK TO THE HILLS

I was feeling blue.

I was feeling glum.

My big 9-0 birthday

Had recently come and gone.

The years that were ahead

Suddenly looked too few.

I headed for the hills

For a more uplifting view

But the hills were wrapped in mists.

And yet the morning after,

Patches of sky shone through.

I recalled a lyric line:

“I’m gonna live until I die.”

And I felt my spirits rise.
