SIXTY

Sixty… soon to be sixty-one
time has fled like
a robber on the run
Looking back
through all the good
and the bad
times you were sad
So many changes
life rearranges
people who have
passed through
some stayed
others you really
never knew
loves lost
loves regained
remaining true
one and the same
live fully each moment
cherish each memory
for age does matter
and in this life
there is no guarantee
