More Than Flowers On Your Birthday

This year, my darling love, you’ll receive more than flowers
Jewelry, candy, candles, gifts, kisses and chocolate bars
You will also get your AARP letter and your Medicare card
It’s vital that you take good care of yourself going forward.

Since you’re now sixty-five years old, you should feel blessed
Lucky, privileged and chosen. Please, please never get depressed
Age is

Will I ever outgrow this?

What is this ridiculous obsession ~
perhaps a case of simple vanity?

There's so much more to life
than warped arrogant narcicism.

I'm obviously more than
these pesky extra pounds
around my waist and
few deep wrinkles on my face
yet still it manages to monopolize 
my moods and daily thoughts.

I seem to spend my time
reminding mirror and self,
much like repeating a mantra,
that

Decrepit, Stealing Our Time

“By the time you’re 80 years old you’ve learned everything. You only have to remember it.” - George Burns

I watched them
As they watched me
Silently, stunned to see
What would be the sum…

Shadowed by life’s plans
Do they understand?
There is One who had it planned
For them and me, it’s in His hands

I watched them go from young to

SENIOR CITIZEN PERSPECTIVE

A Senior Citizen any day
Blessed to wake up hooray
Through the aches and pain
Sometimes the need to complain
Memory sometimes in forget
Enjoyment of retirement blitz
Carefree sensation
Surrounded by family and Grandchildren
Forget the Nursing Home
Always a need to walk and talk
Enriched spirit
Wanting to enjoy and live
 Breath of Life
Embracing refreshing flowers
Sometimes for hours
Oasis of their own
Rocking Chair moments
Reflecting on

Senior Teenager

I call myself a "senior teenager"
(put the two together and you get "seenager").
I have all that I ever wanted as a teenager
- lots of stuff, both minor and major -
I just got it all some fifty years later!
I don't have to go to school
or obey some teacher's rule.
I don't have to go to work
and hear

A senior moment experienced by this drip

A senior moment experienced by this drip...

awash with intermittent amnesia.

Scant number of minutes elapsed...
before I forgot whether yours truly
took another dose of glycopyrrolate
ingested as a palliative prescription
medication addressing the issue of
palmar hyperhidrosis -- excessive
perspiration of palms of hands, an
unpleasant physiological symptoms
afflicting me more than three fourths
of my threescore and six years or
more specifically sixty six

AIDS and HIV of SENIOR CITIZENS

            Senior citizens getting afraid 
           as it's true and also well said.
           All of them are just carrying AIDS.
    

Growing up while Growing old

Archaic silence reasons with my soul
Not the latest model, and not really a classic
Just a girl who trembles with expectation
When the sun regards my flowers with a smile,
Sending her delicate shafts of hope
Coloring each of my thoughts in beautiful blessings
While the rain seeks to nurture the petals
Who laugh beneath dew and glimmers of light
Breaking through

If freshman year was aspirational
and sophomore year was unhinged
junior year was put up or shut up
and senior year is a dash to the finish line

This year’s on fast forward—and it’s for keeps
every to-do list has value-laden questions
things seem sharp edged, single use and intense
it’s all about trajectories and ‘landing spots”

Let’s wax poetic..

Produce now, or spend

Their Dance

The music was lively.
The young dancer, unable to restrain
herself, stood and shuffled slowly to
the dance floor.  His eyes followed her – 
hopeful, but with sadness and concern.

Her gait unsteady, her cane little
help, she began to move – awkwardly
but determinedly – until her eyes
filled with frustration, fear, and
finally resignation; and she stopped.
His eyes filled.
She slowly

SENIOR CITIZEN

Another year has passed
Another day had passed
I know I'm a little bit older
This guy has a bad leg and shoulder
It was not so long ago my life was a blast
There were so many women I could attract
Now I have this baldness and gray hair
And losing hearing in one ear
Many of my teeth are missing
It seems

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

Silver Senior

Derrière dimples
Bold gray hair
Occasionally pimples
Elegant emerald stare

Competent and confident 
Comfortable in own skin
Knowing to accept compliments 
With wise yet humble grin

Bringing the best in every way
No fear in the aging process 
Even you walk with delightful sway
Work of art you are in progress

Hope to know my years of gold
As wonderful and filling like you
A unique

UNDEFINED

UNDEFINED  (a true story)

The morning after the total housefire, 52 years ago, when 
    the journalist asked the elderly man, 
“How do you feel after this tragic, sudden death of your wife?”  
I’d expected to hear a few sad words 
     in response to the intrusive
