SENIOR CITIZEN
We normally retire at sixty years
For work place we are old it appears
But healthy in mind body one feels.
By the time we reach seventy
Our body mind slowly starts to decay
Then we are truly senior citizen per se.
Now we have to start taking care
All our activities we have to be aware
We have to do them rather slowly
And within some limits possibly.
We have to eat in moderation
Avoiding spicy salty food in addition
No sugar sweets too for information.
Keep heart lungs kidney liver in tact
And gut and pelvis active in fact
Walk daily without fail for impact.
Sleep at night is must for six hours
Complete sleep cycles without breaks
That keeps brain mind active it seems.
This is the time when we feel lonely
Family members are otherwise busy
We cannot complain to anybody.
That's why we have to find a way out
Revitalize talent passion close to heart
Spend time relatively in any act.
We will now be active senior citizens
No one will point fingers towards us
We can surely take care of ourselves.
