To soften the blow
I’ve heard it said
“sixty’s just a number”
***albeit a big one…
I add under my breath***
optimistically I believe
sexagenarians
still can play
sing, dance have heaps of fun
eschewing the notion
that I’m nye unto death
or that I’ve crossed the border
Into “he’s had a good life” territory
for I’ve “*miles to go before I sleep”
several more chapters
to add to my story

Dear GW,
I wish you many happy returns of the day with many more years to celebrate them. I don’t think age defines any of us. It might limit us in speed but not in dancing, singing, loving, experiencing new things. We just get to do all these things with a greater sense of wisdom and appreciation. Love the poem. H🌷

Wonderful! Congratulations on threescore trips around the sun! I hope you're going around telling EVERYONE that you're a sexagenarian now. 😁 Don't ever stop having fun.
