Age Appropriating...

As the full bloom diminishes

true Beauty remains...

Happy Birthday, Lucy,

A beautiful woman inside and out!

Hope it's a memorable day in spite of social-distancing. Wink 😉

 God bless and keep!

A light-hearted post in the middle of lots of serious conversation💕

At our age we ought to be

Content to sit, knit and drink tea

Or so I thought when were still

A whole lot younger and much more care-free

At our age I thought we would

Be purely sensible and good

Forgetting that which was behind

We’d be laid-back grandmas doing everything we should

When we were half our age or less

I thought by fifty-something-ness

We would be quite the patient pro

At letting go of things back then we couldn’t even guess

Where happiness, pray we have learned

Is found in days soon un-returned

And we had better make the most

Of moments kissing us with wrinkles laugh-lines squarely-earned

At our age we ought to be

Sedate and very matronly

But just between the two of us

Let’s stay a little nuts because it suits us perfectly
