I am a Senior, of advanced years. I strive to live each day, I refuse to buckle under - it’s not my way. I speak up to any injustice when seen I listen to all, be they young, old or teen. I hope for tomorrow, a better place, I struggle to accept, we’re a superior race. I am a Senior, of advanced years. I am a Senior, set in my ways, I love to live fully, it was always my way, I watch the young, indulging in play. I learn from others, accept advice without qualm. I daydream of a world, peaceful and calm, I laugh at my daydreams, it’s a time to play. I cry for the peace: always one step away, I am a Senior, set in my ways. I am a Senior, stubborn and firm, I admire the person, who can admit they’re wrong I respect the one, who sings a positive song. I expect few of you reading, know me at all, I accept life has been wonderful. Today? It’s a ball. I reject naysayers, and their negativity; I deserve to be heard, with courteous civility. I am a Senior, stubborn and firm. I am a Senior of an advanced years. I desire to see peace - so far out of sight: I dance with my wife, in dreams every night. I sing at all times, my words mean naught, I want to be considered, as having deep thought. I need to be assured, of my groundless fears! I pray to be spared, of handicapped years. I am a Senior set in my ways, I am a Senior, stubborn and firm. I am a Senior of advanced years Rhymer. April 19th, 2018.

I Am...?

Came across this which I regarded a 'challenge' earlier and wondered if I should 'have a go?' The first two words I...? are set in the order as above, which I have followed - not my format Here's the end result. Hoppe it makes sense and even resonates with other readers? Denis. Like some might say "I" tends to be egotistical but I guess we can make exceptions? Baring the Soul - indeed!
