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
