Point Of View at Sixty

 

Sixty years old, hard to believe

I have lived this long.

Time has slipped by so fast,

seems like I just turned fifty.

A bit stiffer in the morning,

harder to get out of bed.

I can stoop down to get something,

more difficult to get back up.

Retirement and medicare just ahead,

not sure if I am ready for them yet.

In bed by 9 or sometimes 10PM,

but awake at 3 or sometimes 4AM.

Cpap to help sleep, medications for

low thyroid and high cholesterol.

Gluten, dairy and high fructose free diets,

sure takes the fun out of eating.

Where will I be in ten years,

will I still be alive is a better question.

Only time will tell!
