Accomplishments

Happily retired as a senior,
I sang with the choirs.

Played the piano for the birthdays and teas,
To an appreciative audience.
 
Wrote two books, "Living with God",
The "Sounds of Christmas". 

I had my poems featured in the Heritage Glen Letter,
They photographed me with my trophy as an award winning poet.

I had my very own Art Exhibit as an artist, 
Friends and relatives came, this was a catered affair also.

Appeared in the 2017 calendar,
What an honor that was.

My poem "Friendships" and my "St. Patrick's Day" poem appeared,
I continue to write poems, my favorite hobby.

Painting and drawing is a continuous hobby,
I like to give them to my relatives and friends.

Good ways to keep busy as a senior,
I thank God for blessing me this way.
