Loving Life As A Senior Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Wanting to be young and free, playing all day long from
morning to night just like I did way back then, but alas,
today I'm sixty-six.

Having lost some of my physical abilities, not able to
climb trees or run, two of my favorite things when I was
so young.

Now I write poetry, take walks, visit with many friends,
go to meetings, Trump rallies, volunteer, all worthwhile
endeavors.

Mostly writing poetry and listening to music throughout
the day and night, energy still very high, fully charged
no matter the time of day.

Always ready to go and have fun with family and friends,
a lot to do in these senior years, loving life having sur-
vived my death in 2014.
