Living the Aging Life

I love One-legged pickle-ball!

I hop around a lot.

When you can’t run

on two strong legs,

it shows ‘em what you’ve got!

My cats and I live in a house

that’s big enough for three.

We live alone in that big house.

The two old cats.

And me.

Today I wish you rainbows.

I wish you yellow balloons.

I wish you circus dancers,

with a band of lilting tunes.

I wish you bursts of laughter

that swoosh all your breath away.

I wish you easy choices

that smooth out the bumps today.

Ev’ry morn brings promise

of a bright and better day.

And in each day’s bright promise

we find strength to guide our way.

I hope this day

will be agreeable,

with nothing that is

unforeseeable.

I hope all goes just

as they should

and turn out

as I wish they would.

Some things work out.

And, some things won’t.

I don’t know why

some do…some don’t.

But I have learned,

as time goes by,

that nothing works

if you don’t try.

May your trip be smooth and flawless –

Quite an uneventful flight!

May connections mesh together –

Not a one in dark of night!

May your fam’ly all be healthy.

May you laugh with high school friends.

May your heart be light and happy–

a good dream that never ends.

May you come home fresh and joyous

with good mem’ries of the past…

with a happiness inside your heart

and joy that now will last.

My garden’s resting, quiet,

in the golden morning sun.

The buzzing bees….

the gentle breeze…

bid “Welcome!” to each one.

Samantha likes to snuggle close.

A lap’s the place for her!

If you will draw her near to you,

then, in return:  She’ll Purr!

Sometimes it takes a lullaby to

heal a wounded soul.

Sometimes a simple lullaby

can help a heart feel whole.

I’m sending you this lullaby

in hopes it is a way

to soothe whatever hurts your heart

and eases it  away.
