A late, late bloomer, am I.

I feel my best. Late in the day. Late at night. A sign that I am a slow starter. A slow learner, too. Slow. Slow. Slow at everything. That's another reason.  For why I need a long, long life. So slow. That I'd not reach the finish line. Unless I have a long, long time. Maybe that's why I am destined to live into my 80s. Maybe 90. Now that's a positive thought.  Slowly. Ever so slowly. I am becoming more positive. I need time. Really. Quite possibly. Forever. To accomplish my mission. I am barely getting into my rhythm. A late, late bloomer, am I. --Jim Broede
