Senescence begins
And middle age ends
The day your descendents
Outnumber your friends.

I don't get the whole Crossing The Border thing. The poem has nothing to do with the title. But it's still a good poem.

" Crossing The Border" means entering into a new phase of life; like entering a new country. Get it?
