Gratitude

I never saw “old” coming

then I celebrated eighty years.

Suddenly a twinge here,

an ache there emerges

along with a new appreciation

for friends and family who

supply me with words I can’t

recall, find keys I’ve misplaced

and remind me of appointments

I must not miss. Some might

begrudge the dependency,

I love the attention.
