More than a year ago I wrote myself this birthday poem:

ODE ON OLD

I dribble and dodder
and can’t hold my water.
My mood is grumpy
My body is lumpy.

But….

I still dress and feed myself,
attend to most personal needs,
and though I love to garden,
am done planting my seeds.

Also there are…

Naps without guilt, eggs without yolks,
senior discounts, help from young folks,
hobbies galore, books to read,
movies to see, pretty fish to feed,
things to build, time to spare
morning quiet, and people who care.

Life at 69 years is good.

John, that is a lovely poem and it is so well written. I really enjoyed it even if I cannot yet identify with its content.

Happy birthday tomorrow, and all the best during your next year! My birthday was several weeks ago on November 9. I find that getting older is much better than the alternative.
