Those Golden Years

I never thought
I’d live to
Be
A senior citizen
No, not
Me

I never thought
I’d live to
See
Wiry, grey hairs
All for
Free

I never thought
My limbs would
Be
Gnarly and bent
Like a
Tree

Yet here I am
On bended
Knee
Grateful, alive and kicking
Still to
Be

Word of the Day: Senior

Locked Up Tight

Searching for
The key
Wherever
It might be

Searching for
The key
The thing to
Set me free

Searching for
The key
Why is it
I can’t see

Searching for
The key
Of course
It’s inside me
