You surely don't look your age
the doctor said to me
He went on and on about it
so I knew this he must mean

He said if he had a room full
of women lined up against the wall
To pick the ones who are my age
my name he would not call

This made me stop and think about
of how lately I've been told
That I'm looking younger every day
so OUR  AGE  doesn't mean we're old

At times I feel I am seventy-five
Sometimes I feel I'm sixteen
My actual age is just there
laying somewhere in between

It's how we feel on the inside
that the difference seems to be
And the love we share in our lives
makes happiness that others see

I am so blessed and thankful
for the love I have in my life
My family, friends, and my true love
help to ease lifes toils and strife

Since I have met my sweet Honey
and so in love we have fell
It seems I'm looking younger
for my age my smile doesn't tell

Age is only a number
my True Love says to me
So as long as happiness is on the inside
it will come out for others to see


revisted for fun

Don't I know this one!
Of course I'm always told older lol
Maybe I just need someone to love.
Well said Ethel.

Always, Alyssa

(smiles) Yay! And love is young forever so though many may feel they are getting older, love makes everyone forever youthful! (kiss on cheek) God Bless You, sweet friend, you are special to us all, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Ethel, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
