Living the Aging Life

Fortune smiles on you today

and looks on you with favor.

Fortune brings you bright success

in a day that you can savor.

“Today you’ll find a happy heart.

You’ll find a settled mind.

You’ll find a path to happiness.

You’ll find ways to be kind.”

Your day will sizzle with success.

You’ll find a burst of happiness.

You’ll laugh out loud when day is through

‘cause ev’rything went right for you.

My candle burns for  Colin –

his body and his soul.

May peace among the nations

keep him safe and keep him whole.

Careful now!

Don’t eat the lettuce!

Some strange ailment’s

out to get us!

The bunnies frolic night and day.

They nibble through my garden.

A bite-bite here.

A chomp-chomp there.

It makes my cold heart harden.

I HATE wabbits!

“Today you’ll walk with pixie dust.

Your actions will be kind.

Your heart will soar with happiness.

And, Good Luck you will find!”

We picnicked by the river

on a quiet summer day.

We ate and laughed and talked

until ‘twas nothing left to say.

Then each stepped in to sep’rate cars

and drove their sep’rate way,

and all that’s left is mem’ries

of a quiet summer day.

I bring you a four- leaf clover

and a cuddly teddy bear.

A slip’ry, slid’y rainbow,

and a ribbon for your hair.

There’s a lollipop to lick on

and a zesty lemon drop.

And a bushel basket full of joy

and love that will not stop.

May this day go well for you.

May your heart be light.

May you bathe in happiness.

May you choose the right.
