Talents To Be Realized

When I retired i thought what will I do with my time,
Made  friends with a handsome gentleman

Maybe I fell in love for awhile,
We couldn't date because he is much younger.

I played the piano for the seniors,
Christmas songs are my very favorite.

Writing poems became my favorite hobby,
I would share them with my relatives and friends.

Art is another favorite hobby,
I had my very own Art Exhibit where i invited relatives and friends.

I gave two of my paintings to my handsome friend,
He gave me a hug and a kiss on the cheek.

I will always remember that,
Wished that I could send him more pictures.

I also sung with the choir,
We had a gold choir gown and a blue jay blue gown.

Good to know even if you are getting older,
You don't need to retire completely.

I like acting too, we don't have a theatre at the senior's residence.
I remember the days with the community theatre.

The many talents to be realized,
I cooked delicious foods for my father Dr. Wolf and I.

They are good memories,
We had some beautiful reunions with my relatives.

They would all bring a dish of food, 
My brother would provide the music.

Days as a senior fulfilling  and  complete,
I will always remember that and I thank God for blessing us.
