Best Senior Citizens Poems
Life sucks
And guess what
It only gets worse
Years of hard work
And bosses you hate
No pension plan
Now Social security check is always late
No medicare
Or decent housing
Nursing homes when you’re too much to handle
Children doctors straight from college campuses
Brittle bones
And lose of mind
Uncontrollable bodily functions
Limbs that won’t answer your command
Ungrateful kids who don’t have time to hold your hand
Massive heart attacks
Triple by-passes
Victims of strokes
And dirty dealers looking to cash in on old folks
27 dollars worth of food stamps
Your government says old people don’t need to eat that much
Growing old in America should be better
Blame the baby boomers
Your time is here
But you’ve done nothing and their reality
Is now what you should fear~
They were brought up right so polite
and you can count on them day and night
and their standards and morals exceed the limit
and this world would mean nothing without them in it
and their most wonderful trait and it is worth a million is their unwavering kindness to children
and so senior citizens
so honest and true
It is such a pleasure knowing you
I thank you for all your wonderful ways and
for you I have nothing but praise
Why are our Senior Citizens so neglected these days? Is it because they don't care, or is it they don't believe they will be senior citizens one day? Our cities, counties, states, and countries MUST learn to take better care of the senior citizen because if you live, you WILL become a senior citizen one day, whether you like it or not. The senior citizen has set the paste for all to be able to accomplish that which you are doing today...making possibilities come true; whether you want to believe it or not, it doesn't matter, it will come true. "There is a season and a time for every purpose under heaven. A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted." When a senior citizen plant (with the help of God Almighty), the young and young in heart reap the benefit of that which were planted and continue to make an improvement on it. You can see this throughout history; through the "discovery of the wheel" to the modern-day that we are living in now; and that's the way it should be. We set the paste for the young to become "The FutureNow". What we do for them NOW will determine WHO and WHAT they will be TOMORROW, And that's the way it should also be.
She is 98 and sweeps sweeps sweeps her patio away
Every day for hours
Arms wrapped around her broom
Bride groom
Lifted over the threshold of twigs and torment
She cannot see nor hear much farther than her own reach
For I wave to her from the yard next door
Call out her name Hello Lilith
But she doesn’t flinch
From her private dance with her skinny man
So I watch and hear her sweep
The shades of morning light and graying night
Into a tidy sense of order
Pinecones here walnuts there locust shells
Helicopter seeds and acorns
All the living debris from trees
Swish swish swish
While I nap in my backyard
Coming to love her little brushing and rustling of Earth’s stuff
Like I would if I lived by the sea
So on she sweeps
Sweeps the ashes of her World War II husband
Sweeps the advice from her many daughters
Sweeps her trips to the vineyards of California
Sweeps her classroom of second graders
Sweeps that time she parachuted
Sweeps her affair with The Senator
Until one morning I noticed silence
I went over and found her lying face up
Her broom next to her
Just out of reach
She says “Oh my, Bob” to the clouds and my face
“Could you lift me up and tell no one please?”
Up we go arm in arm
Hug each other for a very long time
As the nuts and leaves shake wild and free
In a snare of breeze
Beneath
Our tiny waltzing circle of feet.
Senior citizens getting afraid
as it's true and also well said.
All of them are just carrying AIDS.
Off and on, are using Band AIDS.
Many of them use Hearing AIDS.
Each to accept Medical AIDS
Even some receive Organ AIDS
Children send Monetary AIDS.
Vulnerable to HIV
While senior citizen might be..
Fact, though may be astonishing.
What to do ! Hair Is Vanishing.
HIV : Abbreviation !
Oblivious - not to mention.
