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 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

Retirement

"Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter.” –Mark Twain


Gray strands, falling over crinkly skin
Where once was reflected beauty and approval,
Now there is merely old age, a has been
Someone who knows about radiance removal

A measured pace has replaced the brisk gait
Where there was once delight in the amusement

Unlikely Senior Citizen

When did it happen? I’m thinking
It must have been when I was sleeping
I changed from young and restless
To the elderly, wrinkled, graying - old-fashioned

When did I first notice the way it hurt
To jump and play, feel my heartbeat pulsate
Know the meaning of mature – senior
Citizen who has lost teeth and whose vision
Is no longer 20/20,

Senior Citizen Number One

Being a senior citizen sure has it's ups and downs.
It seems I'm learning something new each time I turn around.
Things are different now for me than when I was young.
I'm older now and wiser too and life's a lot more fun.

I used to think when I got old the fun would be all over.
I'd sit

Erasing Her


Her memory is a breath of laughter
Caressing the night in layers of starlight
Dreams rising on the greenest pastures
Where sun and moon glimmer, winking 
While gently comforting, shining
O’er a reflection of yesterday 
When she knew life – before old age 

Her memory erases the many years
Of silence where her photo delights
In grinning from edges of a

Senior Citizen Number One

Being a senior citizen,
Sure has it's ups and downs.
It seems I'm learning something new,
Each time I turn around.

Things are different now for me,
Than when I was young.
I'm older and much wiser now,
And life's a lot more fun.

I used to think when I got old,
The fun would all be over.
I'd sit and rock and dream about,
Bygone

Senior Citizen Gets Tough

It happened several years ago
But it is a true story in the flow
A Senior Citizen woman being my Grandmother
She was a strong woman like no other
She worked as a Board Of Education Lunchroom Manager at P.S. 202 in Brooklyn, New York
As my Grandmother was leaving on a regular day, a Mugger was getting ready to

Mistaken For a Senior Citizen!

Ok, I normally keep my cool.
I rarely get THAT mad.
I wanted to knock her teeth out! 
Oh yes, it was that bad! 

I was innocently shopping.
Going about my day.
I was finished with the browsing 
so I headed up to pay.

This nasty, mid-aged woman
looked me in the eye
and what she said made my mouth drop
and made
