   Before you read the poem, keep in mind that
   I think you can be passionate in all emotions,
   including humor. So, if you're not afraid to
                   laugh......
                          Then Enjoy!!!!


    

   I was talking to some friends of mine the other
                         day...
   When someone had to mention just how fast time
                     slips away...
   Seems like yesterday that I was in my youth...
         And now I'm at the age where mirrors
                 always tell the truth!
----------------------------------------------------

   Now, I don't mind the fact that I am growin'
                       older...
   Or that the summers seem a little shorter,
         And the winters a little colder...
   Because I'll stay young just lovin' with that
                     man of mine...
   My heart tells me I'm still 16, and my head
                  says that's just
                        fine!!!
----------------------------------------------------

   I know he'll love me when my hair all turns
                    to silver...
            and my teeth all bite the dust...
   And somewhere in the process, I misplaced my
                   shapely bust...
   My face begins to wrinkle, and I need a new
                      behind...
   I know he'll be there, 'cause he's the
                  stayin' kind...

         Yeah....I know he'll be there...
         Just a ginnin' in his rocking chair...
         Yeah....I know he'll be there,
             'cause he's the stayin' kind!

Hi Marsha...I guess sometimes the aging
            process is a little easier with
            some good old-fashioned laughter!
                Glad you enjoyed it!!!

Awww that was sooo cool!   You made it seem a little easier getting older. You know, that's a very "Catchy" title, would be cool for a song, a country song... I enjoyed this a lot!

Sunny,
We are not really getting older, we are becoming more mature!!! And when we do become more mature, we just get better!

Gossamerwings....Thank you for reading this!
                 I knew it would attract
                 people with a good positive
                 attitude......and, yeah,
                 Life can be VERY funny!!!!

Saun....You guessed it.....it is a song that
        I've been messing with, probably
        country flavor, and just finished the
        actual writing today.
             I'm glad you liked it!!!

Hey Bill.......Thank you!!! and I agree 100%!
               But sometimes you just gotta
               kick loose and laugh at your-
               self....don't take things so
               seriously, I've been told!!!
                Actually, I get by with more
               now than I did way back then!!
                    Life's too short,
                           so..
                                 ENJOY!!


Love received is equal to love given!
