60...Sixty
Neat little lives
Positioning their perfect wares
Pairings of prime breeds
Ever hopeful of certain outcomes
The grand nuptials and vibrant careers
Offspring to count and coddle
Only a spec home will do
With vehicles that glisten and guzzle
All's well, for now is eternal
Clouds come and go as we stake claim again and once more
Grandchildren flow
As economies wane
Tidy hearths now taut and burdened
A dear one passes
A job erased
A goal undone
Some targets missed
The years set in
Im 60
Have a great day
