Now that I am old

 Now that I am old

I no longer wish 

To solve the world’s problems 

Let someone else worry 

I want to gaze at the stars late at night 

Watch the sun rise early in the morning 

Grow flowers in my garden 

Dance alone in my living room 

And not care if anyone sees me 

I no longer wish 

To please anyone but myself 

Instead, I will eat chocolate in bed 

Watch movies in the dark 

Wear red shoes and a green polka dot dress 

Read the end of the story before the beginning 

I will be the self I dreamed of being 

When I was young and new to life 

I will make the rules and not follow them 

This is my world 

I create it every day as I wish it to be
