I LIKE BEING OLD

Lifepoems

'Twas no Autumn in Cheyenne this year.
The stumps of my vegetables
and leaves have stayed glued fast!
Is so strange to feed my birds
and see their water frozen,
but can't find leaves
numbering a dozen!
I love the snow though.
If I was young and spry,
I'd have a pair of skis,
and goggles for my eye.
I'd be off to Steamboat Springs,
Just skis and I, racing down the hill!
Can't go, can't afford the Drs bill!
I like being old, dear friend.
I know that sounds rather trite.
These are the best years of all my life!
No children, no worries, nor strife!
I don't mind being old, it's a Great Life!
And, of course as you see the numbers increase
Each year you say, "Well when will this cease?"
That part doesn't bother me one single bit.
If I go to sleep tomorrow, I can honestly
say I've done everything I ever wanted to do!
And so, this is it!
Life's a fight from the day we are born.
It's not what fight you're handed,
But, how you weathered the storm.
I think you and I have done fairly well, don't you?
We might be single, but I know a lot that
would rather be that way too!
So each day I open my eyes and say.....
I'm still here, thank goodness for that
How can I live this day,
and show appreciation for
one more day of life......
I eat my oatmeal and thank My God
for the lack of strife!
If you asked, do I want
to do it all over again?
I'd say, Please don't put me back.
I haven't the courage to reenact!
Our lives are lived upon the stage,
in a marvelous, miraculous play
Thank God it's only one act!

You never cease to amaze me with your ways...your outlook,your words,your insight and your heart
Wise words..and comforting too
"Just skis and I, racing down the hill!
Can't go, can't afford the Drs bill!"

Just wonderful
--------------------------------
I'm glad I'm young..so much to gain
Not a tremor, not a pain
Dementia not setting in just yet,
I can run a mile..please don't bet.
And so it goes..who knows they're old,
Compared to whom, Be I so bold,
I'm probably not as old as you
A mere fifteen years on Connie Sue.
