Gonna live On Forever




Looks like this geezer
Will live on forever 
When I'm out for a stroll
Gait's light as a feather

Most folks mistake me
For a much younger dude
They think I'm bout forty
Don't want to be rude

So they guess around fifty
Some sixty or so
Certainly don't blame them
My age doesn't show

I'm proud as a peacock
This image I'm showing
For a man in my seventies
My pride's overflowing

Owe it to a life filled with joy
Singing happy songs
Shooing away nasty clouds
Sun shines all day long

    Young at heart! Of course you are. So optimistic and confident. I'm eternally glad to read some uplifting work for a very well respectful, handsome and talented poet.

    The good life is achievable for almost everyone... attitude is definitely the key! That may sound a bit altruistic but it goes a long way to a happy life! Thank you Lucilla for your very kind words. Hugs and happy thoughts, Jack xoxox

    They say Dragons and Trolls are the closest to FOREVER people you'll ever find. So you're in the right company... They're loyal, too. They say I looked worn around the edges when they got here... They think, they're the remedy for that! My foot kept me down... Now my little doggie's leg is bothering her... so the usual walks are down... So Grandpa Troll has Dragon doing walkies with my Lab Lizzie in his arms... They both seem to be enjoying it! Can't figure out why the neighbors hide, tho? Really!
