It finally arrived after all these years
I've waited for this for ever and ever
You can see it in my reflection in the mirror
The look of me content after forever

I have reached my Golden Years at last
I am basking in the feeling of accomplishment
The worry of making it now in the past
So now let's see what time has sent

Now when I need help getting out of a chair
And my knees pain with the weather change
My back gets a catch if I don't move with care
I finally have a name and reason for this thing

I have made it to the good old Golden Years
And if I look around my friends are here too
We really all have become our own peers
For hurrying to this place I was a fool

I can't believe this is the Golden Years
The dream was never like this
All the time I wasted getting myself here
I got it, now what do I do with the wish!

LOL....hmmmm those wishes aren't all they are
made out to be are they...but atleast you
made it past midnight feedings and colic  
You are pure gold to me mom!


You can swim in the waves of the weave...without sinking into the mind of the weaver~

LOL !
You go out and dance in the rain !
Make a mud-pie and toss it at someone you love.
Make a mud-pie and toss it at someone you don't love !
Walk through the mall singing !
Dye your hair blue !

They will all just figure you've lost it !
And you can blame it on carrying around all that GOLD !

Look behind you often - and make faces back at them !
Have fun - fun - fun !

BDC: my kid, a good thing gold doesn't tarnish! I still wish, but am more careful!

Marge: I love your ideas! Will have to try them out..... drunk or sober?  Oh, who cares.  Like my mother-in-law said, " I never expected to live this long!" Who did?

Great write!
And Marge's ideas sounds like a lot of fun
Go sky diving too!
If you go let me know I wanna go too
