Pushing 60 Poem by James Hart
Pushing 60
Retired
Retired early
Retired early due to ill health
Retired early due to ill health from MS
Like an unfinished meal turned into compost
Still useful but not for its original purpose
Like a drink left unfinished on the bar
Not useful so thrown away down the sink
Like an unfinished symphony
Partly useful but without the composer's coda
Like an old car without fuel in its tank
Nice to look at but useless for going places
And tell me, where am I going?
'Still useful but not for its original purpose'. What if this was always your original purpose? Are you still to make a difference in other's lives yet? Would we be reading this nice piece of work? Would you be as wise as you are now? I believe everything happens for a reason..hope all goes well. Thankyou..Sharon.

You are not useless, we are all on a great learning curve from which we gain experience and understanding, and which we can pass on to others in the form of wisdom.
