On Reaching Ninety Five by jaybird1

The very best I gave of me,
so much of it, when in my prime.
Now, I can hardly cease to be
and saddened by the passing time.

I stand among my progeny
of whom I'm proud. They show their love.
They seem inspired and shower me,
it's like life's blessings from above.

Out in the yard the flowers sway. 
The rays of sun still warm  my heart
and gentle breezes sing to say,
here's tribute, you have done your part.

A withered, broken man am I.
Life is so sweet but death I spy.

Author Notes
There has been much good and much bad in my
95 years.I am very thankful and at peace.
