Bill Codd

Bill is one of the newest residents

to join our Crossroads family. He enjoys writing, usually about political topics, but also does some poetry. In preparation for the move to Crossroads he went without

writing for a couple weeks. After his computer was all set up in his new home, he sat down and the words started fl owing. “I surprised myself how easily I was able to write this,” says Codd. He enjoys sharing his writing with others and he hopes all the readers will relish his poem.

THE CROSSROADS OF LIFE

Your fi rst impression says somebody cares for those not so bold,

As you enter this bright and shining new home for the lonely old. Willy’s new world has taken comfort and happiness on another leap, Surrounded by new friends with sincere smiles piled so very deep.

After talking to her walls and pictures for several lonely years, I feel blessed to have found this unusual haven to dry up the tears. Losing Life’s Partner leaves a void too deep to know where to start,

A new life must be provided by special places with more than heart.

Too many old folks end up in storage because they wait too long, This place offers a new life for those who are moderately strong. You have the choice to do it yourself or be helped by a friend indeed, Doing what you can fi lls the days much better than waiting in need.

Already I feel this choice is another gift from God as my life lives on, Another of those unseen gifts that has driven my charmed life so long. Three of us from Otter Pond are neighbors again for our fi nal days, So, wish us well as we enjoy this new neighborhood in so many ways.
