Sixty
Inevitable that we should reach that age,
when our mind is past the delusional stage,
the Sun has not far to go before setting,
when we reach mystic sixty!
Perception, tolerance and attitudes change,
Fate reads our life book, smiles, turns another page,
Nostalgia floods, will life soon be closing?
when we reach mystic sixty!
Young beautiful, buxom blonde’s high heeled image,
that haunted us all through our early teenage,
but now they all evoke parental feeling,
when we reach mystic sixty!
Leisure times in pub with mates from college,
merry jokes of past days, beer sourced courage,
wise greying hair, eyes with contentment shining,
when we reach mystic sixty!
Our words begin to sound like some old adage,
we learn to handle conflicts and show no rage,
our lives suddenly have a whole new meaning,
when we reach mystic sixty!
All needs are happily met well within wage,
with strangers on lone walks readily engage,
can spend hours in garden digging or weeding
when we reach mystic sixty!!
Have now come a long way, so don't disparage,
enjoy peace and calmness of a seasoned sage,
Some scope for spiritual awakening,
when we reach mystic sixty!
