New Horizons

New Horizons

Our search for knowledge never abates

trust me after all my many years

my thirst for knowledge and new horizons

is ever gnawing at my soul

to nourish my ever inquisitive mind

the moment I stop wanting to explore

this amazing planet and its wonderful secrets

is when it's my time to say adieu

presently, it appears to be

a very long time from now

I really don't think I'm all that unique

but because of my retirement

it provides me with the opportunity

not available to me earlier in life

a very rewarding way to spend my later years

a joyous way to discover and appreciate

this wonderful world we have around us

thank goodness for nature programs

"but for now, that seems like
a very long time from now" ...
Forgive me for nit-picking, Jack, but using the word "now" in such close proximity sounds a bit redundant.
Please consider the following:
Presently, it appears to be
a very long time from now.

However, it IS your poem so you may consider my suggestion, or not.
It's never too late for an old dog to learn a new trick or twop.
