Fifty years of living here
Pack it all away
Not much room for anything
At this place Im gonna stay
I put my kids through college
I just put my woman in the ground
They say I shouldnt be living here
When theres no one else around
.
Fifty years of my life
Packed in boxes to be hauled away
Pop, you know we love you
Its just the way things are today
..
The house looks bigger empty
But, even empty its still my home
The lines drawn on the pantry wall
That measured how fast the kids had grown
Late night kitchen conferences
And those fire side debates
The squeaky step that let us know
When the kids got in to late
.
Fifty years of my life
Packed in boxes to be hauled away
Pop, you know we love you
Its just the way things are today
..
Living with people my age
They say youll like it, If you give it a try
Lots of things to talk about
As we wait our turn to die
They say theyll bring the grand kids
They say that theyll call me all the time
Its the best decision for everyone
Awe pop, youll do just fine
.
Fifty years of my life
Packed in boxes to be hauled away
Pop, you know we love you
Its just the way things are today

Lots of emotion packed in a few choice words and lines.
I can feel the sadness, anger and fear. Very well delivered,
your thoughts are clearly conveyed. Effective write!

Really appreciate your style
Rather uncanny but have just submitted a kind of similar poem
But I am only 48 (!) (?)

I fully agree with Kamal.
There; is no such a thing as a stereotype in the eyes of God.
Every singleman is absolutely "Unique" and infinitely precious!!
Beautifully pennmed.
ourage! HE knows about your pain.
Blessings
