Being sixty-two
don't call me old
done more living than you
so I think
I am abler than you
to know my own mind.

Yes some days
I forget names
but is that really important
in this day age and time
I still know
my thoughts are my own.

Only sometimes
dribble down my chin
and that is mostly
when I'm ******
or ******
**** just thought.

This year
I will turn
******* Sixty Three
book my wheelchair
I feel like I'm getting old.
