A Little Poetry Corner

I think I was very lucky to have stumbled across Danny Wright who ended up writing a song for me. The lyrics are very apt to the time of life I was at & captured some of the feelings I was experiencing. Social media can be a blessing or a curse depending on your point of view. My posts must have been riding the right algorithm & I was able to connect with others who thought the same as me.  Sarah Dell was one of these people.   

Retiring can be a tough gig. Losing your social identity combined with the tsunami of agism is quite tiring. Sara wrote the poem for me.

The Road to Retirement

Denise having taken early retirement
reached a cross road in her life.
A feeling of being dismissed from society
despite being a wonderful mother & wife.
The thought of approaching sunset years
whilst not being a shock made Denise
stop for 1 minute 2 take stock
