How did it happen?
I really don’t feel
that old
But the day arrived
I woke with the sun
With my normal
aches and pains
Stumbled out of bed
Looked in the
mirror
Peered at myself
carefully
Do I look sixty?
It’s hard to deny
That I am now a
senior
With all the good
and bad
I’ll go out
Tuesdays
To claim my senior
discounts
And admit my age
The bad comes as
well
Our nation prefers
its youth
Not valuing us
To be unemployed
At age sixty is
quite hard:
Discrimination
Wisdom comes with
age
I have learned much
through my years
Life is our teacher
Adventures still
wait
For those open to
new things
Seniors included
So I’ll take the
hand
Of my age seventy
husband
And see what life
brings
