SIXTY JUST PASSING

Free to roam my mind in yesterday just gone, Aged days unchanged but for aches beginning, My bearded face and hair growth significant, On look a definite criticism or feature recognized, A loving relationship blessed she's my best friend, Siblings generation have continued beautiful grandchildren, Each happy living partners creating their life in adult need, And now I wish to settle with ease but more dreaming, Follow the sun or roam together afar for experience committing, Scope the circa of ever desired retirement compelling, And run down pathways shaded by the distant sun, Or lie in a night gaze at starry starry nights flickering, Or a simple garden edged by flowing and water cascading, Or just a simple consequence of time elapsing, Or writing poems that might will to a Laureate unfound, And yet probability will encounter some changes, Where day by day will glint by unrealized, Where the mans world is an image resisted by time, Where cars and boats exist in affordable indecisiveness, Where restrictions can't endeavor to overcome aging, And passive vulnerability could catch the aching real, I hope that today at sixty is only a dream last night, Today it's real I'm only twenty one again.
