When I Am Old And 56 Poem by Emily Velasco

when i'm old and 56
i'll buy me a new coffeemaker
and brew the bitter away
fill my cup with muscovado
and cream delight your blues as well

when i'm old and 56
i will still be the fam's driver
the steering wheel will be my pillow
as i fight the sleepy hollow
straight from night shift to the driver's halo

when i'm old and 56
these are buddies i'll always look for:
facebook, instagram and tweeter
am still contemplating
on dating.com and tinder (ha! ha! ha!)

when i'm old and 56
i'll look forward to grandkids
listen lance and gelo -
i said look forward to!
maybe in a decade or so

when i am old and 56
i would love to bathe again in the rain
just like when we were kids
but this time be more cautious
less i get lesptospirosis 🙄

when i'm old and 56
i'd surely be grateful
for Almighty's favors
with joyous heart and soul
I will sing praises even more 🙏

when i am old and 56
i'd like to enjoy my sisters' company more
i never had the chance to before
since i married so young
i'd like to make up for those missed years

when i am old and 56
i wish to have the same oldfriends
from all chapters of my life
the trust, wisdom and happiness
are surely gems to keep

when i am old and 56
i will keep on trying to be the best
not for anyone nor everyone
but for these two whom my heart goes to
Gelo and Lance ❤️

when i am old and 56
i will be old and 56
i am old and 56
old and 56

grateful and old
happy and 56.
