   Some folks try to make you feel that life is
                  for the young....
        Well, I just don't agree with that..
        I think my time has just begun....
   Now, I have no desire--to live the way I used
                      to do..
   I'm real happy bein' where I am and doin' what
                    I want to do....
   I don't dwell on dying--I'll know when my time
                       has come..
   I'm too busy doin' what I like--that's makin'
                  friends and havin' fun..
   I may be gettin' older--But I'm not exactly
                      through..
   I've gotten smart--don't need to work as hard,
            as I did at 22.........
   Some of my friends can't handle..
        the thought of their passing years..
   But if I could--I'd never choose those
            teen-age blues and teen-age tears!
   I'll always be a kid at heart,
       and really--AGE IN YOUR MIND!!!!
   So, go ahead--Enjoy yourself and I'm sure that
               you're gonna find:
          
                      that:

   Life don't stop at 40!!
       No matter what the T.V. says!!
   I'm finding things about myself I didn't know
               in my younger days........
   I know just where I'm going...
       (and I know how to get there, too)..
   So--Move it on over--Make some room at the top--
        
           There's a new face comin' through!!
  



Life is but a dream...

Being in the "Over 40" club myself I just had to read your poem.. I loved it and it is so true. I find out more things about me as I grow older. I would not want to go back either. Forge ahead. I still got alot of living to do too
