Notes About The Poem
Written 18th January 2025
When you are old - Poetry Conrest - Sponsored by: Sarah Kendrick

When you are old

Wrinkles are souvenirs of life’s odyssey, the joy, the sorrows and its novelty. Quote - Poets Own When one’s elderly with an aging face And you're pondering on where time has gone Or from where wrinkles suddenly came from Winging supersonic from outer space. Thinking back to those carefree sunny days When one was enjoying youthful glory One's spectacular historic story When life was wonderful in many ways. When falling in love was super splendour And bliss was found in a loving first kiss From the only one who'd up your heart skip Memories that linger in minds harbour.

Beryl, your kindness infuses this poem. You have a wonderful outlook on everything, and it's quite a pleasure to read what you've written. If you could bottle this good feeling, you would have many customers...but for now just reading what you've written is the best way to capture the feeling you've expressed. Since there are no shortcuts for happy living, this will have to do! Smiles!
