My Apologies I must offer a sincere apology For those I ridiculed in my youth I held disdain for the BenGay crowd But now I know the truth Being old is only a phrase A number in chronology In my youth it seemed ancient But I’ve changed my ideology The outer shell may wither some The joints will creak and scream Steps once buoyant now seem slow To quickly run out of steam I look at life from the other side The over the hill side of things Experienced and life worn, Bearing what a long life brings My step is cautious now I worry that I could slip! I wonder what I would do If I fell and broke a hip?! The eyes will never see 20/20 again And the ears strain just to hear You must not have much to say Or I heard it all last year! But I never forget to remember Andremember so muchI forget But then it blurs while I nap Those thoughts that I regret Over the hill might be old to you But it’s just a number for me I’ll never be old as long as I Can still pen some poetry! |

Some really great messages in here. I loved the first and last stanzas the most. Apologizing is just one of the very many ways for one to be happy and live without regrets. And of course everyone needs to write a little poetry here and then.  ARCTIC WIND [This message has been edited by Artic Wind (09-03-2009 06:07 PM).] |

I hear ya! Boy do I hear ya!  Nice to see you here S. Slipping is my worst nightmare but as long as I can get up this darn 90 degree hill I figure I have a bit longer. |

You're a dynamic lady, and I will always feel honored that you took me into your confidence and under your wing--s.o.s. always. This one was tight, lovie. A great job with the flow, but you never did falter with that. Love you!  |

Apology accepted, o' ancient one! lol I would have found this poem far more humorous if it didn't hit quite so close to home!  Egads! You too?!?  Linda |

Thank you all for reading! I was again reminded of my mortality when a dear friend had an brain aneurysm this week! Only 6 months after her hubby died of cancer. This is more lighthearted than the circumstances warranted but she got a kick out of it so it's all good.  |
