Living the Aging Life

Before you go to sleep tonight,

know that you are Blessed.

And may a miracle of love

surround you as you rest.

Today’s the day we give our thanks.

For all we have.  And, do.

For all the folks we care about.

I give my thanks for you.

I’m sending you a Magic Carpet Ride.

I’m sending you up to Mars.

I’m sending you a cloud of Pixie Dust

to carry you through the stars.

I’m sending you billowing rainbows,

and, a field of four leaf clover

I’m sending you a day of happiness.

You can live it Over and Over.

The skies are gloomy and raw and gray.

It’s a drizzly, dour November day.

My heart is happy!  Oh, Joy! Oh, Glee!

It’s how November is supposed to be.

The world’s become

plumb mean and nasty.

I’m going to go on strike!

I’ll hide in bed…cover up my head….

till Hope comes down the pike.

How do you know

when to let life go?

When to let your soul go free?

How do you know

how to leave this life

with grace and dignity?

How do you know

when the tide has turned

and life is flowing out?

How do you know before you go

what life was all about?

A nation that fails its children

Is a nation that cannot thrive.

A nation that fails its children

is a nation that won’t survive.

It takes a lot of discipline

In a Democracy.

You haven’t got the luxury

of running wild and free.

You have to live by rules and laws

and do the best you can

to make a life that’s

 meaningful for

each and every man.

I love food and

I’ll admit it!

Jump at the sound of

“Come and Git It”

I love my food and

I have found that

I’m willing to eat

anything around.

I had ONE piece of candy.

Just enough to start my day!

About that piece of candy?

There’s just one thing to say:

Yum!
