What are you most proud of in your life?
I’m proud to still be active
And getting on with life
And not like other folk my age
Who just complain and ache.
I’m lucky to be healthy
And grateful that I am
But have to say I work at it
And exercise a lot.
I’m actually working harder
Than when I was at work
I get outside in good fresh air.
I’m not stuck at a desk.
I’m not just staring at a screen
I’m busy growing food
Or working in the garden
My fingers in the soil.
I’m proud to know I’m fitter
Than most folk of my age
And proud of beating younger folk
When I am in a race.
I like to get out travelling
To see more of the world
I’ll have visited six continents
Before next year is out.
I won’t give in and sit at home
So much I want to do
I’m very proud of my Jetpack streak
And poems everyday.
I know I’ve had three score and ten
And that can be your lot
But will carry on as long as I can
Enjoy all life can give.
