I’m 60 and Sailing

Note: I never write poetry, but a recent friendship inspired this, and after showing this to two friends who really liked it, L decided to share it. The drawing was made with iOS Note.

I’m 60 and sailing

Of happiness

There is no failing

What more could I ask?

Got the Sea at my back

Sun on my toes

No worries or woes

I’m 60 and sailing

Of happiness

There is no failing

What if a big storm blew, you ask

Oh poo! It’ll be a blast!

How about the Pirates?

Don’t worry, I’ll charm them with my Pirouettes

Besides, James and Matt (my butler and masseuse )

Got my back

I’m 60 and sailing

Of happiness

There is no failing

My family wonders where I’m at

I send them postcards of this and that

Do you miss them, you wonder

Of course I do, from time to time

But the thunder

of the sea

calls me

I’m 60 and sailing

Of happiness

There is no failing
