Senior Living

Brochures arrive quite often And they beckon with a deal – It’s time for senior living – You don’t know how good you’ll feel! There’s a pool, a gym, a clubhouse With so much that you can do And you’ll make new friends, for everyone’s A senior just like you! I know folks who have transitioned, Others soon to take the plunge, Eager for a fresh new start, Their former lives set to expunge. Though I envy their excitement And the purging of the past, I don’t see that in my future, For I think the die’s been cast.

I'm happy just where I'm at and have been for the last 30 years. The place isn't perfect but it meets all my needs. - Maurice
