They say life starts at forty, live it up without a care. But in cruel reality its all downhill from there. You know you're getting older and the time is marching on. It doesn't seem long ago that your life had just begun. If you're lucky, they'll find you a nice, sunny spot to sit in a comfy rocking chair. Maybe you could nap a bit. If you're lucky, they'll remember to bring you in at night just like the household moggie as long as you don't fuss and fight. If you're even luckier they'll wipe the dribble away that runs slowly down your chin for most part of the day. So when it seems the world don't care, don't forget, it could be worse. Instead of sitting in that rocking chair you could be in a hearse. Stand straight and tall, not the reflection as others see you, but as you truely are.

Hello Dee It's so nice to see your smiling face again and to read your words which spoke volumes to me. I turned 40 in February and I could relate very well and enjoyed your sense of humour. As they say "You're only as old as you feel". Take care......Sue I am in motion |

Sue, its good to be back home. I have missed reading the poetry and the interaction. BTW, I prefer "You're only as old as the one you feel".  Dee Stand straight and tall, not the reflection as others see you, but as you truely are. Clearwater |

Don't worry, I'll make sure someone brings you in... at least I'll try to remember to remind someone...  |

I have learned that in the last year or so. JM Its good to be back. Isn't it nice to know Bec's there for her dear old mum? Thanks for all the replies.
