Living the Aging Life

My garden gate is open.

It must have been the wind.

But, since it’s standing open,

I hope you’ll step right in.

If all goes well, we’ll meet again.

Our Kati has chosen a book.

We’ve opened the cover, checked inside–

we’ve taken a little quick look.

If COVID stays low, our masks stay high—

we’ll be ready to meet again.

And we’ll  talk about amazing thoughts

that stream from an author’s pen.

Google says that we’ll have rain.

I surely hope she’s right!

The drought has been relentless.

I pray there’s relief in sight.

All of a sudden, the power went out.

I never learned what ‘twas about.

But, I realized once the power was gone

that life is better when the power is on.

If a Blessing makes you happy,

and it lifts your heart a bit,

then we’ll send another Blessing

so you’ll have much more of it!

Ev’ry day I light a candle

to be sure your way  is clear.

You can see the path before you

so no stumbles interfere.

This blessing comes to you with love

and wishes for your day….

for sweet success in all you do

and sparkle in your play.

Ev’ry day my burning candle

lifts its shining light for you

so you see the path before you

and your steps are sure and true.

Yes, the candle’s burning brightly,

shining light along your way,

showing steps that lay before you

so you’ll have a Happy Day.

The candle’s burning for you

with its clear and steady light.

You can see each step before you.

You can know your day’s all right.
