Sexagenarian

Sight of death still considered in a distance Enteric fluids rich in life and so much history X-rated is the cloud of wisdom and experiences An era of the grandparent and a few great grands, or Generation of three steps and a few reaching four Elder with some strength to still make things happen New and relaxing is this life, phase or strata Accomplished is one now counting his accolades Retirement and pension are common trademarks In a twelve, a possible nine already show medical signs After this phase is a time to await death Nevertheless, still not up to seven decades in existence.

As I turned my 7th decade this year, this poem hits home. But I'll not await death as there is too much in front to look back. Great perception of life.

I read this acrostic with keen interest, Funom, since I am included in this age group! As a pensioner I am my own boss, can take it easy and yet keep myself very occupied. Though I still play badminton and go on long fast walks, I am the first to admit that the body is not what it used to be:) ~ Regards // paul

Yes, Funom...you have listed some common facts humans encounter within that decade for sure. A nicely-written Acrostic! 7, Sandra
