Senior Days
My senior retirement was the completion of a phase in my life,
I discovered my love for writing.
My poems would appear in anthologies,
There for someone else's pleasure.
I would achieve heights difficult to comprehend,
Reaching the William Shakespeare level.
To publish books, a dream come true,
I would invite relatives and friends to read about my experiences.
Knowing I have had very fulfilling chapters in my life,
To continue to discover my love for playing the piano.
My parents' lessons at the Royal Conservatory,
Appreciated at a senior level at teas.
With a repertoire of church,classical,contemporary,popular,and Christmas music,
I would continue to discover crafts, like knitting and making necklaces.
Participated in bazaars and craft sales,
Socially church and choir guested.
To be complimented by good neighbours,
The blessings of being involved with our very own Christmas Choir.
Which sang beautifully complimented with tea and cookies,
I became a hostess with excellence.
Blessed with days with my handsome and beautiful relatives,
Dinning together with exempliary reunions.
A love for fashions as a senior guested,
Beautiful walks along the conservation area.
Slimness is next to Godliness,
Being senior continues to be an excellent passage to tomorrow.
