Living the Aging Life

Every rainbow carries a promise

of Gold beyond compare.

Here’s my Rainbow Promise to you:

its Gold I’ll gladly share.

Champagne and bon bons

are a treat.

Add good friends.

The party’s complete.

Thanks for the golden daffodils.

They fill my house with spring.

Thanks for your pleasant company

and the joy you always bring.

I’m looking for a Rainbow –

pretty colors, clear and true –

And if I find my Rainbow,

I’ll gladly share with you.

I’m alone in a house with a box of See’s Choc’late.

Pretty soon my company’s coming.

I try to hold out.  I try to wait.

But I feel myself succumbing.

Applets and Cotlets are biting the dust.

Another Icon is gone.

We had them a hundred years or so.

The taste of a nation moves on.

Today I’m burning a candle for you

to help your heart to sing.

The candle is a comfort and guide

through what the day will bring.

My kitties had to go to see the vet.

It’s routine.  Still, they hate to do it.

But, they hunkered down. They were all good cats.

And somehow we all got through it.
