I thought like so many
That when I was old
There would be nothing to do
But sit all day and mope.
Saying “Woe is me” won’t be my motto
Because there’s too much work to finish
Before I move on.
Those who went before me didn’t get done
All the things to accomplish before their last breath
So I’m here to do it as best as I can
And hopefully finish the tasks they all started
Before I move on.
My fingers ache and my back really hurts
When I stand far too long,
But that’s not stopping me from getting things done
That weren’t finished after they were started.
I’ll do what I can to fight and finish those chores
Before I move on.

I'm glad to hear that you intend to keep going, rather that sitting back and waiting for ...
A most uplifting poem.

but find myself starting something
Before finishing what I statred before
You following me so far?
Peace be with you

I stay as busy being retred, as I did while working. I serve on the board of director for our local chamber of commerce, I continue to host (voluntarilly sp) a interview show for two radio stations, and am involved with volunteering at several other non-for-profit orginizations.
I manage to do this while experiencing chronic health issues. Someone already said it, and it's true; aging ain't for sissies!
Good write,
Dan
