Living the Aging Life

Be nice.

Be kind.

And wait your turn .

That’s all we need to do.

The earth will be a better place

for them, and me, and you.

There are dirty dishes in my sink.

It’s just impossible to think

that I’m the one who left them there…

 there’s no one else the blame to share…

I asked a genie for some wishes –

that he’d clean up the dirty dishes.

But, no, they’re still just waiting there….

I’m asking you:  is that quite fair?

The pretty February sun

is brighting up our day.

Its smile is reassurance

that Spring’s just a month away!

Night falls, and we close down our day.

We head for quiet sleep.

And now our eyes are closing.

Our rest is full, and deep.

Behold the dancing daffodils:

they spread their sunshine wide.

They splash delights of color as

they bring the Spring inside.

We send blessings to our travelers

for a safe, convenient trip,

for a flight that’s uneventful,

not a single hitch or blip!

Safe travels!

The forecast is for drizzle –

for a day of squishy weather.

There’s no use in complaining.

We are all in this together.

Sharon is a techno-whiz.

She always makes things work.

She does it with such kindness that

I don’t feel like a jerk.

Thank you, Sharon

May this day be like butterscotch:

warm and smooth and mellow,

with skies that fill you with delight —

creamy, butt’ry yellow.

Good night,

sweet dreams,

my precious one.

May angels hover round  you.

May you sleep soft

and sweet and deep

and only love surround you.
