When my "get up and go"
Just got up and went,
I sat down to rest,
Though I had good intent!
When I go to the fridge,
Then forget what I need,
Sometimes it takes me
Two tries to succeed!
But being a senior
Is not all that bad.
I can laugh at myself
(As I check my notepad).
I can do things at leisure,
I don't need to hurry.
I'd rather have fun
Than to fuss, fret and worry.
I have time to laugh,
I have time to putter.
(But I've saved too much stuff).
Gotta' clean up the clutter!
I have time for my family
Or time for a friend,
Or reading a book
Or letters to send.
Or I can sit in my rocker
And just reminisce,
Thanking God everyday
For this season of bliss!
It's a good season!
