Turning 64

 
 

I forget to drink my coffee
Until it gets cold
Then is when I think I can see
I am getting old
But better this than being dead

Getting old instead
Still being here for now somehow
Only God knows how

Older now than ever before
Oddly at the end
Simplicity agrees with me
Simpler than regret

Now in the end how I transcend
Whether I forget
Or not I get that this is it

I remember now
On New Year's Eve how I will be
Turning 64
And learning how to finally
Being more and more

"Will you still need me? Will you ........?" Here I am thinking, 'I wish I was 64 again!'. Your writing is great and has gotten more refined, I think, although I'm far from an expert as one can get. Write on!

Love ya!

Simplicity agrees with me, simpler than regret. Those are very nice lines. Love the poem overall.

You could have, "lived fast and died young," but that is now past. Time for wisdom to set in.

We only have one life to live, so let's see how we will be when we get old. Don't fret about it. Some others didn't even have the privilege to get old. Count your blessings.
