Not So Bad It's really not so terrible, This thing of growing old. I don't have to mind my manners Or do what I've been told. No one seems to care about it If I break a few small rules. I say I don't have time enough For tolerating fools. I can wear the brightest colors, Red and yellow, both at once. Because I'm old folks smile and don't Assume that I'm a dunce. I can even hug young fellows Without scorn for being bold. No it's not too incovenient This process of growing old. In deference to my age, most folks I meet are quite polite. If I forget a thing or two They say that it's all right. If when in school the others Considered me a nerd, Well if they grew rich and famous I am sure I would have heard. At my age there's not much difference Between the rich and poor. We can't take it with us, money's Not important any more. Please don't feel sorry for me Or believe what you've been told. It is not the end of living Just because you're growing old. By: Joyce 6/8/03 |

Hey, Joyce I can surely relate to what your thought is on "old age", I am 62 yrs. young, but my body tells me different. A lot of things don't matter any more, or at least it is not of great improtance. The 'little hill of beans' is what I am referring to. lol! Have a good one, Keep up the good work! We may become poets one day! lol! Brenda Hall The windows of the soul,reflect negative and positive images.Correct the negative and praise the positive |

Dear Joyce: Cute poem and I really enjoyed it. I've just come back from a week of tent camping and I have to admit I have a few sore muscles! But I agree with you just the same! Love Betty Lou Betty Lou Hebert |

What a delight. *S* My dad always says that growing old isn't so bad... especially when you consider the alternative. LOL You remind us of the fun we can have along with the aches and moans. *G* |
