Ain't Dead Yet

Somebody said, “Act your age.”

I said, “Which one?”

The knees have opinions.

The back would like a meeting.

The heart keeps making plans nobody cleared with the calendar.

Ain’t Dead Yet brings humor, grit, and affection to the business of still being here—and deciding to do something with it.

There are unnecessary boots, questionable dance credentials, and a fear that put on a necktie and started giving respectable advice. Underneath the laughter is something worth remembering:

“I don’t need to be younger.

I don’t need to win.”

There are people left to love. Mornings you haven’t seen. Songs you haven’t heard. And a little fire that deserves more than another promise of “someday.”

For anybody whose heart still has plans.

“I don’t need another lifetime.

Give me this one while it’s here.”
