Unexpected Feelings
I never expected to feel this way,
With old age now having a lot of the say,
Yet these feeling won't go away,
And long may they stay.
Every day now these feelings point the way,
No matter what old age cares to say,
These feelings refuse to go away,
And I am keener than ever for them to stay.
Every day I find a new way,
To change what old age has to say,
And not give these feelings away,
Feeling better about myself each day they prolong their stay.
I feel new challenges are coming my way,
About which old age will have no say,
As I chase my grumps away,
And invite me to stay.
I only see the good things yet to come my way,
If I don't let old age have all the say,
Fun and laughter will never be far away,
However long I have left to stay.
