Growing Older..

God’s everyday gift I treasured mornings and nights
I’m existing in the present cherishing my presence
Intertwined in living with dearest family and friends
Time setting in being united with wondrous people
Blithesomeness no one can take away and set apart.

Happiness are priorities having wonderful memories
Caring times in getting old make everyday beautiful
Joyous feelings keep within hold everything perfectly
Gratification of being an aged woman matters most
Found fulfillment in wonderful things I’m still doing.

Challenges and chances in my blissful yesteryears
The accomplishment of hopes for free life coaching
Innermost contentment in realizing hearty aspiration
Exploring my hidden potentialities in the poetry world
Growing older at sixty eight is an amazing blessing.

Being a senior citizen is regarded as inspiration
Interwoven worthy causes with real heartful interactions
Defining essences of my senior citizen’s sentimental journey
The path of life at the crossroads of every silver lining.

Let’s join together in embracing my perceptiveness for elderly people
Moments with conscientious awakening for truthful understanding
Completeness in growing older enlightened emotional awareness
God has reasons and purposes for my existence until the time come to an end.
