No longer a junior
or sandlot player
or a dragon slayer
instead, a senior
which gives moments
to take in beauty
a chance to decide
shall this be the day
to live or hide
to wither away.
Wisdom of years helps
hard knocks too
spring and summer are magical
autumn and winter winds
chill the bones
but offer a warm cup of tea
when sitting alone
playing trivia games
but can’t remember names.
Something fishy about age
seem to no longer have rage
or to argue about little things.
