"Old age can be a platter of pleasure,

Eat it wisely and love your leisure.

 

Time moves really fast,

The years soon become the past.

Be conscious of every single  day,

Don't let it sadly fly away.

 

The luxuries in my life have fortunately come about,

The necessities therefore I can do without.

Old age can be a platter of pleasure,

Eat it wisely,love your leisure.

 

I've always been in the right place at the right time,

Loved my music and putting pen to rhyme.

Age comes more gently to those who write.

Their brains remain active and really bright.

 

My eyes have seen many things on the way

My hearing aid hears now what you say.

To be alive is a great thing,

Many more years hopefully my future will bring.

 

Old age can be a platter of pleasure,

Eat it wisely,love your leisure. "
