B   IS FOR BOLDER

B is for bolder

when you get older.

Do what you want to do

let nobody step on you.

Don't do what you're told

ignore messages sold.

Be forceful and brave

get out of your cave

ride on a wave.

Being old, you're bright

have second sight.

If not now, when?

Speak up again and again

tell kids, women and men

what is true and right.

Use senior might

fly a bright kite

see every sight

dance every night

enjoy moonlight

eat a tempting bite

climb every height

even with cane

or arthritic pain.

You are a survivor

a great thriver

file shyness in a folder

be warmer, not colder.
