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.
