I am getting old,
But still my family and friends  say I should enjoy life,
Travel the world,
Socialise,
Do voluntary work,
Join a club,
But I have done all that,
Now, I want to live my life my
way,
I want to relax and take it easy,
Doze in a rocking chair as and when I wish,
Sit in my comfortable sofa in front of the T.V. ,
And watch all my favourite series,
With jars of mix nuts, chocolates and sweets on a side table,
Sit idly reminiscing sweet memories,
Chat for hours with my friends on WhatsApp  and mobile ,
Enjoy and bond with my grandchildren.
I want time for myself,
Which I never had bringing up my children, running the house and working and travelling.
