Golden Nuggets

When I was young,
                                   
older friends-family gave advice with their tongue.
   
They gave me golden nuggets of advice,
           
too young to use but I thought about them twice.
   
Now older and I hope wiser,
             
each senior was my great adviser.
With each ten years things get harder Ann,
do all you can now while you can.
         
The golden years are golden,
           
with health-money don't be beholden.
     
Save for a rainy day,
                   
they are sure to come your way.
       
Get rid of excess things,
                 
they will be given away with your rings.
       
Give to those you love now,
           
or it will become a fight oh wow.
     
The golden nuggets of advice,
   
were so sad and cold like ice.
 
I have seen many a tear,
 
I will not live in fear.
