I am 60, well nearer 61,

so why is it I feel over and over

that I am just beginning?

I certainly don’t have life cracked;

and while I am no longer striving

so much these day,

I still feel like I am stumbling,

and bumbling through

the myriad of scenarios life throws,

well lets face it, at all of us…

+

Having just moved

I have set up new accounts,

worked through changing my address,

on almost everything,

I must have forgotten something…

new doctors,

same dentist,

driving licence,

insurance ( it made the difference of 38p)

what is my postcode,

what is my phone number,

where am I?

+

Learning new ways,

new directions,

forming new relationships,

I should be used to these beginnings,

maybe because I am older

they seem more tiring…

+

I am 60, well nearer 61,

and am beginning again….
